Iris - Danforda - Long-Lasting Pollinator Magnet - Bulbs - Giga Pack - 500 pcs

Early spring borders often feel incomplete without a touch of yellow to brighten the still-bare ground. Danforda iris, compact yet striking, brings a distinct sense of renewal as its yellow petals appear in March sunlight, rising above the soil with a gentle, fresh fragrance. This subtle scent attracts attention at a time when few other blooms are present. With a height that ensures it stands out among slow-growing grasses, Danforda iris provides colour and vitality to beds, rockeries, and containers before most plants emerge from winter dormancy.

Planting Time

Plant Danforda iris bulbs in autumn, ideally from September to October. This timing allows the bulbs to establish roots ahead of early spring flowering.

Planting Depth

Set the bulbs at a depth of 8-10 cm. This ensures sufficient protection from cold temperatures and supports healthy growth.

Spacing

Space bulbs 8 cm apart. Close planting creates dense, vibrant clumps that make a strong visual impact in early spring.

Height

Mature Danforda iris plants reach 15-20 cm, making them well suited for the front of borders and for use in mixed container displays.

Flowering Time

This iris flowers very early, typically in March and April (III-IV). The yellow blooms emerge before the leaves are fully developed, offering a clear seasonal highlight.

Hardiness & Overwintering

Danforda iris is fully frost-hardy and remains in the ground throughout winter without issue. After flowering, bulbs may be left in place or lifted and stored dry until the next planting season.

Uses

This species is ideal for rock gardens, path edges, water features, and patio containers. The vivid yellow flowers contrast well with stone and other early-flowering garden bulbs, helping to create colourful spring displays. Danforda iris bulbs are a reliable choice for bringing early colour to gardens after winter.
