Plant Catalogue: Herbaceous Perennials

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

IRIS. No Iris flower could be described as long lasting but at least they make up for it by being fabulously flamboyant and are often produced in large numbers. The following cover a wide range of habitats.

I. lactea. A fine foliage plant, the narrow pale green glaucous leaves forming handsome clumps. The modest flowers are a pale violet-blue. 45cm. £4.50

I. lazica. Closely related to, but now separated from I.unguicularis, this plant with its broad, glossy evergreen foliage is happier when grown in shade. Typical, large lavender flowers in late winter/spring. £4.50

IRIS SIBIRICA. The Sibiricas are amenable garden plants but perhaps at their happiest when their feet are plugged in moist soil and their heads are cavorting in the sun. They grow extremely well in water too. @£4.50

I. s. ‘Berlin Bluebird’. Very striking and as near a gentian blue as we have seen in an iris. 75cm.

I. s. ‘Butter & Sugar’. Flowers of solid substance in an eye-catching combination of butter yellow and white. At 60cm a candidate for the border front.

I. s. ‘Colin’s Pale Blue’. Sky-blue with just a hint of grey in the colour. A great favourite here. 75cm.

I. s. ‘Emperor’. Rich purple flowers of satin like texture. 100cm

I. s. ‘Orville Fay’. Good sized flowers of great substance in deep denim blue. Strong growing. 120cm

I. s. ‘Shirley Pope’. Saturated, dark purple-violet with slightly flattened falls. 75cm

I. s ‘Soft Blue’. Large, well proportioned, shapely flowers in a greyish sky blue. A deserved AGM winner in the trials at Wisley and one we particularly like. 90cm.

I. s. ‘Summer Sky’. A graceful slim-line flower, like a dancer on points, lavender blue with just the right amount of yellow for perfect balance. 90cm.

I. s. ‘Tropic Night’. Intense violet-blue with a pale zone on the haft of the falls. 90cm
