Product description
Soft white blooms brushed with a hint of yellow make Iris Alaska a beautifully calming presence in the late spring garden. Its slender stems and elegant flowers rise cleanly above fresh green foliage, adding brightness to borders, rockeries, and containers just as early season colour begins to fade. The cool tones pair effortlessly with blues, purples, and soft pastels, creating a gentle, refreshing display that feels right at home in both modern and cottage style plantings.
These bulbs are easy to grow and settle well into free draining soil with good light. Plant them at a depth around three times their height, water lightly after planting, and allow the foliage to die back naturally once flowering is over so the bulbs can store energy for the following year. Flowering reliably from late spring into early summer, they return year after year with very little fuss, offering a clean, elegant lift to the garden just as summer begins.
These bulbs are supplied at a size of 8/9.

Instructions
Top Tip
After the flowers fade and the foliage begins to yellow, ease back on watering so the soil can dry out naturally. This dry summer rest allows the Iris bulb to ripen properly and set strong flower buds for the following year.
How to Water
Give the bulbs a light drink after planting to settle the soil around them without leaving the area soggy. Through the growing season, water only when the soil begins to dry, as Iris bulbs prefer conditions that stay moist but never waterlogged.
How to Plant
Plant Iris bulbs around 10-12cm apart so each one has enough room to develop a strong clump over time. Cover them with soil, firm gently, and water lightly to help them settle in.
