Dutch Iris
Rosario
Dutch Iris ‘Rosario’ is a unique beauty, prized for its lovely scent and playful colouring. The purple-pink standards are accented with bright, buttercup-yellow markings, creating a striking spring display in the garden and in the vase.
Dutch iris are valued as cut flowers and they bloom after most daffodils and tulips have finished, making them perfect for extending spring colour. Very hardy and reliable, each bulb typically produces 1 to 2 stems, with 1 to 2 flowers per stem.
