Regelia Iris

These are happy in a warm, sunny, well drained site where they flower and increase well. Limey soil is not essential, good drainage is.

We find that Regelia species like to be left alone after planting to establish, after which they flower regularly. Shallow planting will enable the rhizomes to ripen well for flowering, but do not worry as the plants will find their own level in time.

Glasshouse cultivation is not essential and species such as Iris hoogiana do well outside but all species thrive if bedded out under glass. Easy and lovely, in addition to which some are beautifully fragrant.

Available for ordering from our Autumn list only.
