Iris confusa 'Martin Rix'


Iris confusa 'Martin Rix' (Iris confusa)

A very unusual Iris - it doesn't stand stiffly, its stems 'droop' with several flowers at the tip of each stem.

I tried to grow Iris last year from bulb but not one of them grew - what did I do wrong?

I live near Glasgow and our garden looks about a season behind yours.

Evy, which sort of Irises did you try?

As to the differences, I am in the mild SW of England, so there's bound to be temperature differences.

I think it was a 'bearded iris', can never remember names - I will have to start writing down the names of plants and take a photo so I remember what they are.

You'll find the 'garden' section on your page useful for that! It acts as a catalogue and a diary for me.
