Dietes Grandiflora Fairy Iris

Originating from South Africa, this charming, iris-like flower forms clumps of dark green, stiff, sword-shaped leaves. It blooms abundantly from late spring to the end of summer. This hardy to half-hardy evergreen perennial displays white flowers with yellow nectar guides and purple centres. Reaching a height of 1-1.5m, these plants create an attractive display when grown together in groups, especially along paths or beside driveways.

Useful Information

Sowing & Growing

To aid germination, consider soaking the seeds in warm water for two days or lightly sanding them with sandpaper before sowing. Choose either spring or autumn (preferring cooler temperatures) and use moist seed compost. Lightly cover the seeds with compost and maintain a temperature of 15-20°C. Germination typically occurs in 1-3 months, occasionally taking longer. Once the seedlings are sufficiently large, pot them on.

Flowering begins in the second or third season. In colder regions (experiencing frosts below -7°C), bring the plants indoors during winter. As this is an evergreen plant, avoid cutting back the leaves, unlike some irises. Mature plants can be divided after the flowering period.
