Iris
Light conditions: full sun, partial shade.
Applications: in borders, rock gardens and under shrubs and trees.
This small iris is originally from the Turkey and Caucasus region. There they were grown on a large scale. They bloom very early in the season. The flower is very large in relation to the rest of the plant. When the bulbs feel well in place, they come back several years. The only disadvantage of these small irons is that the leaves only really grow after flowering. (IBC)
