Iris's

Just in case anyone happens to like Iris, and was thinking of getting any for next year, I can really recommend these people for mail order.
They have a smashing selection of colours and types, and have good planting and growing instructions on their website too.

I have bought of them several times and they have always been good healthy plants that flower well.

Re: Iris's

I can't see the attraction.

Re: Iris's

What?
Some of the colours are beautiful Tpin, and they make lovely cut flowers for indoors too.

I must admit Roses and Dianthus (pinks) are what I love most though, I could have hundreds of 'em.

What flowers do you like, or are you not keen on flowers anyway?

Think about it Mupsybabes...."Iris"...."See"

Re: Iris's

Oh I'm useless, aren't I.

Mind you, that was pretty bad, even for you.

Re: Iris's

Do they grow in chalk ? We have a lovely sunny spot but many things don't like our chalky soil, it's almost pure chalk in places.

Re: Iris's

Have a look at the website Julie, it explains about growing them and their needs.

Re: Iris's

I did have a look and couldn't make my mind up they need well drained which we are but no mention of chalk.

Re: Iris's

I think they are OK in sandy soil Julie, but don't know about chalk.

Re: Iris's
