Iris 'Kent Pride'

bearded iris

Product Image
A magnificent, sultry, bearded iris, with lustrous, copper-toned flowers held on tall, stiff stems. Like all iris, it's a natural multiplier so will spread over a number of years. Plant it in bold drifts in a sunny, well-drained border.

How to care for Iris Kent Pride:

Plant shallowly with the upper part of the rhizome sitting on the surface of the soil, incorporating a low nitrogen fertiliser in the planting hole. After planting remove the uppermost third of the leaves to protect against wind-rock. In exposed areas stake with bamboo canes in early spring. Remove the stems after flowering from the base as this will concentrate the plant's energy into producing new rhizomes. Divide and replant about every three years.
