Tell Me More...
An outstanding recent hybrid, Iris reticulata Blue Hill is the most wonderful, sweetly scented dwarf iris, climbing high to peaks of perfection. Strong and more robust than older varieties, it may be miniature in size, but is a monumental beauty.Sister to the Purple Hill, rich violet blue standards and falls are intricately marked with darker blue and yellow blotches. The fragrant blooms are held on strong stems above strap-like, overlapping foliage that forms a fan-like clump. Originating from areas in the middle east, Iris reticulata are the jewels of the late winter and early spring garden, perfect for the rockery, front of border and containers. For centuries artists have sought to capture the beauty of Iris and nowadays photographers have taken up this quest. However, nothing will match the beauty of an Iris you have grown yourself in your garden.Growing to a height of approximately 15cm, Iris reticulata Blue Hill thrives in poor, well-drained soils in sun. Very hardy, they will naturalise, and ignite the border when poking through a blissful blanket of late season snow.
