Why We Love It
Iris 'Danfordiae' is an early spring flowering dwarf Iris that will produce attractive bright yellow fragrant flowers. This is a very pretty Iris and is great for borders or patio pots. Preferring direct or partial sunlight, these stunning Iris will reach a height of just 10cm. Flowering in February/March, they will natuarlise well if left undisturbed.
How to Care
Iris like full sun or partial shade and an open soil with plenty of humus and good drainage Ideal for naturalising (leaving in for flowers year after year) in rockeries and edges of borders. Also suitable for containers
Remove faded flowers and apply fertilizer 4-5 weeks after flowering. When clumps become too crowded, lift, divide and replant about 2 weeks after flowering.
Why not plant a Winter Corner near the house along with anemone blanda, chinodoxa (Glory of the Snow) and Galanthus nivalis (snowdrops).
