Growing the Dutch Iris 'Red Ember'

Plant Dutch Iris 'Red Ember' bulbs in autumn, choosing a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Position the bulb approximately 10 cm deep and 10–15 cm apart. These irises prefer full sun but will tolerate light shade. Water during dry spells, especially as flower buds form, but avoid sodden conditions. Once flowering is finished, allow the foliage to die back naturally.

It’s easy to fall for Lomandra 'Tanika' and Lomandra Frosty Tops, but Viburnum davidii (male), Azalea 'Brides Bouquet', and Cornus stolonifera 'Flaviramea' offer a different kind of delight.
