The Variety of Dutch Iris Bulbs
The classification of iris flower bulbs still causes a lot of confusion because plant varieties often appear due to the interspecific crossing. Therefore, amateur gardeners have created their own divisions into species according to general characteristics. There are three main types of iris bulbs for sale:
- Hollandica (Dutch iris bulbs)
- Reticulata (dwarf iris bulbs planted in pots)
- Other species (Siberian, Sino-Siberian, Japanese, Spuria, Louisiana, California, etc).
One of the best options for decorating flower beds is using Dutch iris mixed bulbs. It is a combination of bulbous plants with large flowers and an unusual shape. A familiar option to our gardeners is the “bearded irises”. However, various flowers with small and large bulbs (Fabiola, Pixie, Red Ember, Miss Saigon, etc.) are no longer exotic.
