Iris Raspberry Blush

Description

New to our catalogue for 2024.

A beautiful intermediate bearded Iris with dusky pink standards and falls with darker pink veining and a red beard.

Flowering in early May these can sporadically flower through summer. Ideally grown in a sunny free draining soil with rhizomes visible on surface. Grown in an alpine rock garden, border or container this plant benefits from rhizome cutting/slicing to continue good flowering. To do this we recommend using a clean knife to cut up rhizomes into smaller segments every other year.
