Description
In February she shines like a small light. Bright yellow at 10 to 15 centimeters high. The scent says spring is coming.
This is Iris danfordiae. A true dwarf bulb. She blooms among the first of the year. Plant in October on a dry, stony spot. She cannot take wet feet. Well-draining soil matters a lot. In groups they give an early burst of color. For pollinators this is the first nectar. In a pot they do just as well. The low height is an advantage. They never stand in the way. Still they ask for attention.
The Gold Seeker. Digs for beauty where others do not look.
The bulbs come from the Dutch bulb fields. Hand selected for quality and size, and delivered at the right planting time. A larger bulb holds more food, and you see that in the flower: more blooms, and fuller.
We offer our 100% Bloeigarantie. If nothing comes up, send us a message. You will get new bulbs, or your money back.

Questions about this iris.
Plant this iris in Jan, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec. As long as the ground is not frozen, there is still time.
Rule of thumb: plant a bulb two to three times as deep as the bulb is tall. The exact depth and spacing for this variety are on the planting card attached to the bag and in the planting guide we send along.
Fully grown, this iris reaches about 10 - 15 cm. Useful to know for the order in your border: low at the front, tall at the back.
Not by itself: this variety does not naturalise. In well-drained soil it can come back, but the finest bloom is in the first spring.
We offer 100% Bloeigarantie. Send us a message and we will send you new bulbs, or refund you in full.
Cool, dry and dark, in the opened bag so they can breathe. Do plant them as soon as possible, because bulbs are not a storage product.
