Summer Flower Bulbs Budget Border Collection (50 bulbs)

Planting & Care Instructions

Dutch Irises are elegant, graceful spring-to-early-summer flowering bulbs ideal for borders, pots and excellent as cut flowers. Winter-hardy and low-maintenance, they produce sophisticated blooms and return reliably year after year.

• Planting time: Plant the bulbs in autumn, from September to December, before the ground freezes. Flowering time generally occurs from May to June.
• Preparation: No special pre-soaking required. Ensure bulbs are firm and healthy before planting.
• Position & soil: Choose a position in full sun. Plant in loose, well-drained soil. Avoid areas where water tends to collect.
• Planting depth & spacing: For Dutch iris bulbs, size 8+ cm, plant approximately 8–10 cm deep and 8–10 cm apart.
• Watering: Water once after planting to settle the soil. Additional watering during autumn and winter is usually unnecessary. Avoid waterlogged soil.
• Growing in containers: Use pots or containers with drainage holes and a well-drained potting mix. Bulbs can be planted slightly closer together than in garden beds.
• After flowering: Allow the foliage to remain until it naturally turns yellow and dies back. This allows the bulb to store energy for the following season.
• Returning each year: Dutch irises are winter-hardy perennials that return to bloom for many years when conditions are suitable.
