Dutch Iris Purple

Ideal for GARDEN and CONTAINER PLANTING

We strongly suggest planting enough so you can give in to urges to snip some for indoor enjoyment; it’s bound to happen. Iris plants are tall and slim. Plant them in large containers and plan to add other bulbs, perennials or annuals to fill out the area around their ankles.
