Spuria Iris - Yellow and White

Tall growing Iris to 1.5m elegant flowers and attractive foliage. Well drained soil and full sun are best conditions. Leave undisturbed and allow to form large clumps for a great display. Plant 10cm deep and water well when establishing. Well rotted compost dug into the soil before planting will be beneficial to growth. Spuria Iris make good cut flowers, cut before the bloom opens. Spuria Iris do not like to be moved and take 2 years to flower after being shifted.

How to Harvest Iris Flowers

Harvest your flowers early in the day. Choose buds that are just beginning to open rather than flowers that are fully open. These buds will open within a few hours with the rest of the buds on the stem opening over the next couple of days. Place your flowers in a bucket of tepid water until you are ready to create your arrangement. When you are ready to arrange the iris flowers, re-cut the stems about 2cm above the original cut at an angle under water. Remove spent flowers immediately. Take care as some irises colours will bled and can stain. Check the water level of your vase often and top up as required. Replace water and recut stems every second or third day. Place your vase in an area that is cool and away from direct sunlight and drafts.
