Iris hollandica, or Dutch iris, is prized for its elegant orchid-like flowers carried on straight, strong stems that make it one of the best bulbs for cutting and for adding poise to late-spring borders.
The blooms are usually held in cool blue-violet tones with contrasting yellow markings, bringing a refined, airy look that pairs beautifully with alliums, tulips and early perennials.
Plant the bulbs in autumn or early winter in full sun and well-drained soil. Dutch irises dislike sitting wet, so a light, open position is ideal.
Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulbs can recharge. In well-drained soil they often return well and can be left undisturbed for several seasons.

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
