The illustrious color combo and regal form of the Picasso Dutch Iris (Iris x hollandica 'Picasso') will amaze you with its tasteful appearance! Lovely lavender-purple flags transform ombre fashion into golden yellow falls with bronze accents and dark stripes evenly spaced along the ruffled, wavy petals!
With straight stems and erect green sword-like foliage, Picasso forms vertical clumps with a fleur-de-lis crowning each of the tops! Graceful and elegant, they look as lovely in the landscape as they do in bouquets and floral arrangements as long-lasting focal points!
Flowering in late spring, Iris rhizomes naturalize wonderfully and are low maintenance! Thriving in USDA growing zones 6 through 8 as perennials. Spreading only four inches per clump, multiple clumps of foliage shoot up from each rhizome and when in bloom stand 18-24 inches in height.
Planting and Application:
Space-saving and easy-to-care-for Iris are ideal as border and pathway garden plants due to their taking up so little space for the amount of impact they impart on their surroundings! Use as mid-garden border accents and vertical texture throughout cottage gardens, cut flower borders, and around the outskirts of rain gardens and water features where they will love the moisture availability.
Picasso Dutch Iris can be used in planters and well-drained porch pots for a vibrant and scented focal point and vertical thriller! Likewise in the garden and landscape, their color combo and upright textural elements look best in drifts, winding rows, or groupings for maximum effect. Not to mention catching the attention of the neighbors and every hummingbird and pollinator in the area!
- Lavender-Purple Flags & Bronzy Striped Golden-Yellow Falls
- Sweetly Scented & Pollinator-Friendly
- Vertical Grass-Like Green Foliage
- Great Cut Flowers & Container Thrillers
- Specimen, Rows, Massing, Groupings in Garden Beds & Borders
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant Dutch Iris in well-drained soil that won't get soggy, but remains consistently moist throughout the sun to part sun garden. Use a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch chips to help hold in moisture and protect the rhizomes. Deadhead after flowers fade but keep the leaves to make food for the bulbs. Every few years it is recommended to divide the rhizomes and clean out any older, non-productive roots to maintain vigor. Dutch Iris hybrids grow from bulbs that are able to be planted in fall or spring! Prune away the foliage after it yellows to the ground.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Fast Growing in Fertile Well-Drained Soil
- Appreciates Mulched Beds & Regular Moisture
- Deadhead & Prune In Late Fall
- Deer & Juglone Resistant
Picasso Dutch Iris are just the elegant and easy-care plants you need to dress up your landscape without taking up too much space!
