Iris 'Pauline' (Reticulata)

iris reticulata 'Pauline' bulbs

Product Image
Providing a bright splash of colour in late winter and early spring, often when there is little else in bloom, these low-growing iris are valuable additions to pots, windowboxes, alpine beds and rockeries. They will also look very sweet when popping up at the front of a sunny border. ‘Pauline’ has mauve-purple petals and darker burgundy-purple falls each frosted with an icing-sugar signal to guide pollinating insects to the heart of the flower.
