Iris 'Dancer's Veil'

Bearded irises have 'beards' on each of the falls (lower petals) of the flowers. Iris 'Dancer's Veil' is a plicata bearded iris, meaning its flowers have a pale background stippled with a darker colour. The standard petals are violet flushed with white, while the fall petals are white with narrow, violet edges and yellow-white beards.

Grow it in a mixed herbaceous border or gravel garden, ideally dotted through herbaceous plants in groups of three or five.

For best results grow Iris 'Dancer's Veil' in well-drained soil in full sun, and mulch with well-rotted manure or garden compost annually.
