Iris reticulata 'Clairette'
- Good for Cutting
- Perfect for Pots
- Loved by Pollinators
- Naturalises
A painterly profusion of lilac petals, white throats and royal blue tips
Surprisingly hardy, these poke their heads through the coldest soils to bring joyful colour – and forage for early pollinators – in the dead of winter.
Plant in pots on its own or combine with other early spring flowering bulbs. Deadhead and allow the foliage to naturally die back before lifting or storing for next autumn.
