Family Iridaceae
Tall Bearded irises are herbaceous rhizomatous perennials to 70cm or more, with flowers 10-20cm across, bearded on the falls, in late spring and early summer
Iris ‘Jane Phillips’ is completely stunning – it is the colour of the lightest blue eyes and is an herbaceous perennial growing to the height of 1metre and with greyish foliage and light blue scented flowers in early summer. It likes to be in the full sun, (south facing therefore preferable) and can take sheltered or exposed aspects. It likes well-drained soil.
