Iris 'Florentine Silk'

Bearded irises have 'beards' on each of the falls (lower petals) of the flowers. Iris 'Florentine Silk' has ruffled, soft-pink, violet-flushed standard petals, violet fall petals with a soft-pink edge, and violet-orange beards. It's ideal for growing in a mixed herbaceous border or gravel garden, ideally dotted through herbaceous plants in groups of three or five.

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