Ours are not going to flower this year, they are in pots, were beautiful last year...
Andrew what do you put in this raised bed for when the Iris have finished?

Any bulb that grows no more than about 6 to 8 inches. It looks a bit bare in summer (there are one or two species gladioli) but then the autumn flowering crocus and colchicums come up, soon followed by the foliage of some of the spring flowering bulbs such as very small narcissi
