Iris Reticulata is the classic flower that springs to mind when thinking of Irises. This is an early flowering bulb, that blooms with deep purple-blue flowers that feature yellow and white splashes and lighter petals in the centre that are almost lilac in colour. These bulbs are perfect for planting in the front of a sun-trapped border, as well as for growing in pots and containers to be placed on patios. The complimentary colours bring a richness to the garden or containers, the flowers are held on shorter strong stems perfect for a windy location.
