IRIS, DUTCH Size: 8 cm/up
Dutch iris are bulbous iris of recent origin, hybridized in the early part of this century by Dutch growers who crossed Spanish iris with other species. They delight in a soil that becomes dry and warm in summer, which the bulbs need to ripen properly. The elegant flow- ers have a light, airy structure. Use: border, cut.
