    Iris ‘Tropic Night’ (sibirica)

    £6.50

    Potsize - 1L

    Beautiful mid violet-blue flowers with the fall petals being etched with intricate netting over the base of each fall petal which start yellow nearest the stalk, graduating to white and finally blue as they round out. The standards are of a deep denim blue, delicately veined. A good 'do-er' this Iris is happy in any moist soil, pond margin or open border, even tolerating quite dry conditions when established (our's is under a beech hedge!). They will stand full sun to partial shade but shade will diminish the number of flowers produced. Plentiful strap-like foliage making a substantial clump, best divided in August every three or so years to maintain good flowering. 60-75cm. May to June. Hybridised by Morgan and introduced in 1937. 30cm, Honorable mention : 1951, Morgan-Wood Award: 1954

    Iris ‘Tumble Bug’ (sibirica)

    £10.00
    Mid season. 90cm Introduced : 2000 Bob Bauer/John Cable. This variety is classified as having blooms of a rich rose-wine, but I think the words rosy-violet would be more descriptive. The blooms are very full and a little chaotic in their arrangement, but the splash of rich colour they produce is not to be ignored. The falls are well marked in the throat with white, yellow and red netting.
