I saw a couple of rather sorry looking Iris for sale in Dobbies the other day in the 'bargain bin', maybe worth having a wee look now Kate.

Have split up large clumps and have about 15 potted up in the greenhouse, could meet at merry hill & give you some if you want. I shall be there next week not sure yet what day.You could p.m. me if interested

They grow from rhizomes. Have a look at Claire Austins website.

But they are usually on sale from the beginning of June onwards, tailing off as they finish flowering.
