bearded iris

A daring and bold bearded Iris, between April to May, 'Loop the Loop' opens to reveal elegant white ruffled falls and dramatic purple margins with white and mauve flushed purple standards and fans of sword-shaped, grey-green leaves.

How to care for Iris Loop the Loop:

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.
