Description
In June the purple flowers arrive. They stand on long stems. In bright light they gleam the most.
In the vase they make just as much of an impression. Iris Purple Sensation is a Dutch iris. The petals are dark purple. The throat carries a yellow marking. It is a classic cut flower. Plant in October in full sun to partial shade. Choose soil that drains well. Water regularly as it grows. They grow to 50 to 60 centimeters. The flowers carry a soft scent. Butterflies and pollinators find them. Every year the clump grows larger. So you get more flowers each season.
The Eye-Catcher. Draws attention in every spot where she stands.
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 50 - 60 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.
