Iris 'Silver Edge' is an enchanting and elegant iris that brings an ocean of colour to your garden with its striking flowers. This cultivar is known for its ocean blue flowers, which are beautifully framed by delicate white edges.

Iris 'Silver Edge' usually blooms from May to June and reaches a height of about 60 to 80 cm. This iris is perfect for adding a sophisticated colour accent to borders, garden beds or along paths. The strong flower stems carry the large, elegant flowers that create an impressive visual effect and attract bees and butterflies, adding extra life and colour to your garden.

Before planting Iris 'Silver Edge', good root preparation is essential. Soak the roots in water for 3-6 hours to promote establishment. Then plant the roots very shallowly, about 1-2 cm deep, in well-drained soil in a sunny to lightly shaded location. This iris likes light, well-drained soil and thrives best in a spot with sufficient sunlight.

After flowering, Iris 'Silver Edge' requires minimal maintenance. Remove spent flowers and cut the foliage only after it has wilted completely, allowing energy to flow to the roots. This iris is hardy and can withstand cold temperatures well, bringing beauty and sophistication to your garden year after year.
