• Stunning yellow flowers
• Easy to grow

Iris hollandica ‘Crown Jewel’ is a real standout in the late spring garden, producing elegant blooms in a vibrant yellow. Held on strong, upright stems, the flowers add both colour and height to borders, while also making wonderful cut flowers to enjoy indoors. Easy to grow and reliable year after year, this striking Dutch Iris is perfect for weaving through sunny beds and cottage-garden schemes, bringing a splash of golden colour just as many spring-flowering bulbs are beginning to fade.

How you will receive your bulbs:

Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your bulbs in a breathable mesh bag. This is to keep the bulbs together in a pack that is nice and airy – perfect to keep the bulbs healthy while in transit.

Can’t plant straight away?

Keep your bulbs in a cool, light, and dry place and preferably hanging on a hook so that air can get to the bulbs at all angles. Ideally, you should aim to plant your bulbs within a week of receiving them, but if this is not possible, store them in a cool, dark place until you are ready to plant them.

Planting tips and hints:

Planting in the ground: You can plant your Iris hollandica bulbs any time between September and November. Plant in a well-drained soil in full sun. Dig a hole with a trowel or a bulb planter 3 times the depth of the bulb, approximately 8-10cm deep. Plant bulbs 10-15cm apart. Place the bulb in the hole with the tip facing upwards, then fill the hole and compact the soil gently. Water in.

Feeding and aftercare: Deadhead as soon as the flower fades to ensure energy is sent down back into the bulb. Leave the foliage to die back naturally, then remove it.
