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.
