While bearded irises steal the show with their lavish flowers, other types like Siberian and Japanese water irises lend elegance and grace to damp borders and pond edges. Explore our range of Iris plants, including:
Bearded irises are easy-care plants that reward you year after year. Plant rhizomes in autumn or early spring for best results. Choose a sunny site with free-draining soil; irises dislike sitting in water, so consider raised beds if drainage is an issue. After blooming, remove spent flowers but leave foliage to gather energy for next season’s display. Divide mature clumps every three to five years to keep your iris plants healthy and vigorous.
Bearded irises make stunning companions for roses, peonies, daylilies, and other perennials. Group varying heights and colours for a dazzling rainbow effect, or combine with ornamental grasses for modern texture. Whether mass-planted as a living tapestry or tucked into mixed borders, bearded irises add bold beauty with minimal fuss.
