Description
Grow art in flower form with intricate Bearded Iris 'Batik'! Groups of these in the border make spectacular show of twinkly twilight tones, each indigo flower is individually alluring, uniquely patterned with pure white markings reminiscent of a night sky wax batik design. Blooming through early summer, whether you have a mixed cottage-style border or a grassy prairie planting scheme, Iris germanica 'Batik' is a real head-turner and makes quite the statement piece, especially as there’s very little else quite like it!
Bearded Iris are a fantastic, low maintenance perennial perfect for a hot sunny border. A naturally drought-tolerant plant, once they’re established they’re very undemanding indeed. Plant them in groups to create an eye-catching block of colour or dot them through simple, contemporary planting schemes to act as interesting highlights.

Useful information
-
Soak the Bearded Iris 'Batik' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
