Description

Josie (our Head Gardener) and I, totally love the hollandica iris. They flower in the May gap, just when the garden needs colour, and oh what colour you get with ‘Lion King’ - a soft rust and copper. We plant more every autumn and they flower on and on for decades.

Care Tips

Water in well after planting. Old flower stems and any dying foliage can be cut back in autumn. Apply a mulch of garden compost or well-rotted manure in spring. Caution: harmful if eaten.
