Iris wattii
We don’t sell many Iris species, but this rarity is a stunner! Large mauve and yellow flowers in April-May. It is reasonably hardy but could do with some winter protection to protect the developing flower buds. If it gets frosted the plant will survive but you are unlikely to get flowers in the spring.
It is evergreen and at least 1 metre tall; we sell them in 3 litre pots from June to October. Foliage will be cut back on the potted plants to fit them in a box, but it will soon recover. Occasional feeding with tomato feed will ensure a spectacular display of flowers in the spring. It can easily be divided to give more plants.
This clone was originally collected in Manipur but it is found In North East India, Myanmar and Yunnan. Growing at an altitude above 2000m which means it is moderately hardy in the UK.
