Bearded Iris are easy to grow. They like to sunbathe and are frost hardy.They like the sun and a well drained spot in the garden but this plant survived some serious soggy ground this past winter.
Plant them with rhizomes sitting on top of the soil. This one could be eased out of its pot and put straight in the ground.

But if you take the plunge, it can open the door for you to truly expand your life.
There are two things to consider when you’ve decided to sell up – how to present your home so it’s appealing to buyers and packing up your home for the physical move.
Before you jump into renovations to make the place look shiny and new, think carefully about the value they will add to the house and whether you’ll recover that cost in the sale price. Renovations can be costly, stressful and time-consuming, so they’re only worth making if they’ll add significant value to your house sale.

This is a dear little iris for people that like little things.
Its name is Mary B. Its a Miniature dwarf bearded iris.
I am selling at least three rhizomes of it and they will be bare rooted, trimmed and labelled. Plenty of time for it to get its roots down over the summer and surprise you … View moreThis is a dear little iris for people that like little things.
Its name is Mary B. Its a Miniature dwarf bearded iris.
I am selling at least three rhizomes of it and they will be bare rooted, trimmed and labelled. Plenty of time for it to get its roots down over the summer and surprise you next season.
Suitable for a rockery and does well in pots....easier to keep track of in a pot. It only grows about 10 cms high and is one of the first bearded irises to flower with its pretty little silver grey and maroon blooms.
Bearded iris like the sun, and free draining soil. Have no problem with the frost. Don't like being saturated for a long time though.
Thanks for looking.
