The Iris germanica ‘Edith Wolford’ is a fancy combination between cream and a royal bluish-purple beard. The bearded iris or the German iris (Iris germanica) is a perennial, unlike the much smaller flower bulb variety Iris hollandica. The hardy bearded iris is native to the Mediterranean area, but nowadays you can find them all over Europe. It got the name ‘bearded iris’ because of its hanging stamens with which it attracts bees and bumblebees. The roots of the German iris grow best in gardening soil or in open ground, and it can grow up to 90 cm tall. The fact that this iris is so sturdy makes it a perfect cut flower. The German iris comes in many colours, but Queen Flowerbulbs selected two of them. Besides the Iris germanica ‘Edith Woolford’ we offer the Iris germanica ‘Black Knight’, that combines lilac with a dark purple beard.
