Summer flowering from strong rhizomes

The group Iris perennials includes species such as Iris Germanica (bearded iris), Iris Siberica and Iris pseudacorus. These rhizome-forming irises offer impressive flowers in late spring and early summer, with a strong structure and long life. They are very suitable for borders, natural gardens and planting around water features. These plants combine ornamental value with ecological benefits and require little maintenance.
