Features

notes
Although delicate in appearance, the dwarf Iris Painted Lady is in fact remarkably tough, often pushing through the snow to be one of the first spring bulbs to emerge after winter. Its pretty flowers bear white standards etched with pale blue, with freckled falls blushed with yellow. Pack of 30 bulbs.
