Description
Conjuring up visions of a watercolour painting, depicting a bright and blowy spring day—Iris 'Sea Breeze' combines sky-blue petals and crisp linen-white tips with a streak of cheerful yellow at the centre—just like a welcome ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds. As a miniature variety, this dainty delight will nestle into any space in the garden, bringing its characteristic cheer to sunny and part shaded spots alike!
Iris reticulata or dwarf irises are one of the earliest blooming spring flowers, so are a welcome addition to any garden at an otherwise rather drab time of year. Appearing from late winter into early spring, Iris reticulata 'Sea Breeze' will be exactly what you need to blow away the cobwebs of winter, and herald sunnier days ahead!
