Iris reticulata Pixie
This Iris reticulata Pixie is a dark purple Beauty that stands out well with its yellow and light markings on the petals. The flower grows before the grassy leaves appear, it is suitable for rock garden and border, with these Irises the flowers are remarkably large.
This Iris Pixie is early-flowering and blooms as early as February and March. They will grow about 10 to 20 cm high. You can easily plant these Irises in pots, but if you let them shine in your garden make sure they are in full sun or somewhere in semi-shade, and in a light humus-rich well-drained soil. Fill your garden with these beautiful eye-catchers and their mysterious radiance.

Other information
- First loosen the soil well where the flower bulbs will be planted. Then the soil is easier to work with.
- Dig a hole and make sure it is 2 to 3 times as deep as the height of the bulbs.
- For the distance between the bulbs, make sure it is 2 times the diameter of the bulbs.
- Plant the flower bulbs in the hole with the pointed side facing up or with the root base facing down.
- Cover the iris bulbs with soil and water them well.
