Iris 'Mer Du Sud'

Bearded irises are so-named after the 'beards' on each of the falls (lower petals) of the flowers. Tall bearded irises grow to a height of around 70cm or more, and flower in late-spring and early summer.

Iris 'Mur du Sud' grows to a height of 80cm. Huge, shimmering purple flowers with blue beards appear on strong stems throughout early summer. 'Mur du Sud' is perfect for growing in a mixed herbaceous border or gravel garden, and makes an excellent cut flower.

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