Votaniki Iris Reticulata J.S. Dijt – Hardy Perennial, Iris ‘J.S. Dijt’ (Dwarf Iris) Bulbs for Planting | Easy to Grow, Vibrant Spring Garden Displays, Fragrant Flowers Bulbs

Description

Slightly larger than the other Dwarf Iris varieties, Iris ‘J.S. Dijt’ features intense reddish-purple flowers, 3 inches wide (8 cm), with delicate white and golden-yellow markings on the falls. The foliage of slender, grass-like, gray-green leaves typically rises to the same level as the flower but elongates to 12 inches (30 cm) after flowering before disappearing in late spring as the plant goes dormant. Blooming in late winter to early spring, the pretty flowers (usually 1-2 per bulb) of this strong and vigorous bulbous perennial are rich with a sweet fragrance. The compact stature and the intricate, veined petals create a delightful contrast, making it an ideal choice for rock gardens, borders, or containers. Iris Reticulata J.S. Dijt is a perennial plant, meaning it will return year after year, continuing to bloom in early spring with minimal care. This makes it a great investment for gardeners who want reliable, seasonal color without the need for constant replanting. Once established, it will provide lasting beauty with very little maintenance. This variety of Iris Reticulata is relatively drought-tolerant once established. However, it benefits from moderate watering during dry spells, especially in the early stages. Overwatering should be avoided, as this can lead to bulb rot. Ensuring the soil is well-drained will help prevent any water-related issues. Iris Reticulata J.S. Dijt pairs wonderfully with other early-blooming plants, especially those with contrasting colors and shapes. For a striking display, combine it with other spring bloomers like Crocus, Snowdrops, or early Tulips, creating a colorful tapestry of blooms that complement each other. Additionally, it pairs well with other small spring bulbs like Muscari (Grape Hyacinths), which have similar heights and bloom time.
