Iris 'Purple Sensation'
Dutch iris bulbs (syn. Iris hollandica)
Sought after for their sumptuously coloured flowers, which bridge the gap between spring and summer, these hardy and undemanding iris are perfect for keeping the eye firmly fixed on the border at a time when there is often a hiatus in colour. Reliably coming back year after year, the flowers are also good for cutting.
