Blue & Purple Iris

Iris × hollandica 'Blue Magic' is a refined Dutch iris, offering rich blue-violet blooms neatly finished with a golden marking. It’s a quietly dependable spring bulb—excellent in sunny borders, smart in pots, and particularly good for cutting, where the clean, architectural lines sit beautifully in a vase.

Plant in autumn and allow it to settle into a free-draining position. In the right conditions it will return well year after year, forming elegant clumps that lift the late-spring garden with crisp colour and poise.

• Colour: Blue/Purple with Yellow
• Flowering: May–June
• Height: 60–85cm
• Best for: borders, pots & containers, cutting, naturalising

Iris reticulata ‘Harmony’ is a small treasure for the earliest weeks of spring, bringing jewel-toned blooms when the garden is still politely waking up. Neat, clump-forming and wonderfully well-suited to close viewing, it is particularly handsome threaded through gravel, tucked into alpine pockets, or arranged in pots by the door for a refined seasonal welcome.

Plant in autumn and allow these diminutive bulbs to settle in; come late winter into early spring, ‘Harmony’ rewards with crisp violet-blue flowers, lifted and brightened by yellow and white accents. The effect is quietly dramatic, yet entirely elegant—especially when planted in generous drifts.

• Colour: Violet-blue with yellow and white accents
• Flowering: February–April
• Height: 10–15cm
• Ideal for: Pots & containers, rock gardens & alpines, naturalising, front of borders
• Helpful features: Pollinator friendly, deer resistant

Iris 'Blue Planet' (Reticulata) is a small treasure for the late-winter garden—soft, pastel-blue flowers neatly finished with a golden-yellow stripe, held above fine grey-green foliage. Compact and well-mannered, it slips beautifully into pots, gravel gardens and sunny edges, and will also naturalise with quiet ease where drainage is sharp.

Plant in autumn and look forward to a crisp, bright flourish from February to March. For the most refined display, tuck bulbs into a sheltered, sunny spot—especially welcome where winter colour is prized at close quarters near paths, steps and terraces.

• Perfect for: containers, rockeries & gravel gardens, naturalising
• Flowering: February–March
• Character: pastel-blue with yellow markings; charmingly miniature
