Bearded Iris.....HABIT.....mauve and purple
Now is the time to plant bare rooted Bearded Iris rhizomes. They will do well over the Summer ready for the flowering season next year.
Name: HABIT
Large Violet lavender and black/purple blooms. Bright orange contrasting beard. Its hard to miss these spectacular blooms when they come out in flower in November each year.
Bearded iris are hardy garden perennials that clump up a little more each year. They do enjoy sunbathing with their rhizomes on top of the soil . A good frost keeps the rhizome hardened and strong.
You will be buying a fresh dug rhizome, trimmed and labelled ready for planting. Instructions available but they really are very easy to grow.
Pickup is in Kuripuni
Thanks for looking.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
