Katharine Hodgkin Dwarf Iris

5" tall x 2" wide. Katharine Hodgkin Dwarf Iris brightens the late winter to early spring garden with delicate blue flowers. Plant these low-growing blooms in a sunny to part-shade location along a woodland edge, in a rock garden, along the edge of a path, or in a container where you can enjoy the artistic details up close. Katharine Hodgkin is lovely planted with other dwarf iris and snow crocus. Plant in groups of at least 20 bulbs for best results. Not fussy, plant 4" deep and 3" apart in average well-drained soil. Keep the soil relatively dry during summer.  The grass-like foliage will continue to grow as the flower fades but will disappear by late spring as the bulb goes dormant. Drought-tolerant, and deer-and-squirrel-resistant too.
