Iris Reticulata J.S. DIJT

Overview

Iris Reticulata J.S. DIJT

A stunning early spring favourite, Iris Reticulata ‘J.S. Dijt’ brings rich purple blooms to the garden when little else is in flower. These compact irises are perfect for adding a welcome burst of colour in late winter, making them ideal for borders, rockeries, and containers.

With delicately marked petals and a neat, low-growing habit, they are especially suited to smaller garden spaces or planting in clusters for maximum impact. Exceptionally hardy, they perform beautifully in Irish climates, returning year after year with minimal effort.

Gardener’s Tip

Plant bulbs in autumn in well-drained soil and a sunny or lightly shaded spot for best flowering. Iris reticulata dislike sitting in wet soil, so good drainage is key, especially over winter.

For the most eye-catching display, plant in clusters rather than single bulbs. Once established, allow foliage to die back naturally to help bulbs store energy for the following year’s blooms.
