This striking cultivar features delicate lilac-pink petals, accented by white veining at the base, creating a beautiful contrast. Blooming in early summer, its upright stems rise from sword-shaped foliage, adding vertical interest to the garden. Ideal for pairing with other early summer flowers, 'Sparkling Rose' is a great choice for borders or mixed plantings. The pink-purple petals showcase classic veined markings near the throat, adding depth and texture to its elegant appearance.
How to care for Iris Sparkling Rose:
Plant in soil that has been improved with well-rotted manure or garden compost and do not allow to dry out, particularly as the plant is getting established. If grown in a container, it will need dividing and repotting every couple of years in 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.
