Introducing the Dutch Iris 'Professor Blaauw' - GIGA Pack! - 500 pcs, an award-winning variety that brings a touch of scholarly elegance to your garden. This distinguished bulb plant features dark purple-blue blooms, each adorned with a subtle yellow spot on the lower petals. The large, 10-centimetre flowers are held aloft on robust stems, framed by sword-shaped leaves in a lush green hue. With a height ranging from 55 to 65 cm, this iris is as statuesque as it is stunning.

For optimal growth, 'Professor Blaauw' prefers a sunny, wind-sheltered location with fertile, well-drained soil that is rich in humus. The soil should have a neutral to slightly acidic pH level. Plant the oblong bulbs, which are covered in a light skin, between September and November. Alternatively, a spring planting in April or May is also acceptable. The bulbs should be planted at a depth of 8-10 cm and spaced approximately 20 cm apart. Although frost-resistant, it's advisable to cover the planting area with straw, dry leaves, or conifer twigs during winter for added protection.

After flowering, trim the stalk but leave the leaves intact to nourish the bulbs for the following year. The leaves can be removed once they turn yellow and the bulb enters dormancy. This low-maintenance variety is incredibly versatile, making it a perfect fit for any garden style. Whether planted in the centre or periphery of flower beds, 'Professor Blaauw' shines especially when planted in large numbers, creating a vibrant display.

This GIGA Pack includes a generous 500 bulbs of Dutch Iris 'Professor Blaauw', each accompanied by a label offering essential cultivation information. It's the ideal choice for gardeners seeking both beauty and ease of care.
