Iris pumila - dwarf bearded iris.
My brother is considering buying these iris and wonders if they need care like their bigger relatives. I don't grow them so do any of you? Reading the books implies its like I germanica for habit and needs. just smaller.

We grow them here too, no trouble. Treat exactly like the big Bearded Iris. Bit short lived flowers though. Lovely when out.

thanks Owd. I will filch a couple from him. He often 'bulk' buys from Parkers and I end up with his spares. I love my brother :o)

I have just grown it in my alpine beds with a gritty soil and in the sun. Easy enough and a nice little plant.
