Iris 'Noctambule'

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 'Noctambule' bears striking flowers with white standards, a golden yellow throat and velvety blue-black falls with a golden yellow beard. It's a great choice for mixed herbaceous borders and gravel gardens, and makes an excellent cut flower.

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