Introduce a touch of regal elegance to your garden with the Reticulate Iris - Purple Hill - GIGA Pack! - 500 pcs. This botanical iris variety is distinguished by its unique purple hue, adorned with decorative patterns on its downward-curved petals. Standing at a low height, these upright flowers grow in dense clusters, each producing relatively large blooms on sturdy stems. The flowering season is early, typically in February and March, making them an excellent companion for other early-blooming bulbs.

Whether you're looking to edge small flower beds, enhance a rock garden, or add a burst of colour to containers, the Purple Hill variety is a versatile choice. Its delicate fragrance not only adds to its allure but also attracts beneficial insects to your garden. For maximum visual impact, consider planting these bulbs in tight clusters; their profusion of intense flowers is truly breathtaking.

Planting these iris bulbs is a straightforward affair. They should be planted in the autumn, ideally between September and October, in humus-rich, well-drained, and calcareous soil. These plants are well-suited to sunny locations but can also tolerate partial shade. They are notably disease-resistant and may occasionally attract pests. For new plantings, a thick layer of mulch is recommended, while older plantings may only require this in colder areas. A dose of organic fertiliser in early spring can further enhance their vitality. Periodic digging and rejuvenation of the bulbs are advised to ensure consistent, abundant flowering year after year.

This generous GIGA pack includes 500 Purple Hill Reticulate Iris bulbs, each accompanied by a label providing essential cultivation information. It's the perfect package for those looking to make a grand floral statement in their gardens.
