Why we like this plant
Iris Reticulata 'Alida' is cherished for its refined colouring and delicate form, offering a subtle yet sophisticated welcome to the new season. Its compact size suits smaller garden spaces and container planting, while its gentle hues harmonise beautifully with other early spring bulbs such as crocuses and snowdrops. This iris brings a soft, romantic touch to any garden scheme.
Planting guide
Plant bulbs in autumn, 5 to 7 cm deep and 5 to 7 cm apart, in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade.
Care tips
Allow foliage to die back naturally to nourish the bulbs. Keep soil moist but avoid waterlogging. Lift and divide bulbs every few years to maintain vigour.
