The Iris Hollandica Blend delivers a vibrant medley of purple, white, and yellow blooms that brighten garden beds and borders in early summer. These upright, elegant flowers feature intricate petal shapes and long, sturdy stems—making them ideal for both garden displays and cut flower arrangements.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Dutch irises reach 10 to 24 inches tall and are well-suited to USDA Zones 5–10. Their deer-resistant qualities make them a low-maintenance option in areas prone to browsing, while their ability to naturalize means they’ll return year after year in favorable conditions.
Plant bulbs in the fall about 3 inches deep and 3–4 inches apart. With minimal care, these irises reward gardeners with a colorful show each season and pair beautifully with other early summer bloomers.
USDA Zones: 5–10 Bloom Time: Early Summer Height at Maturity: 10″–24″ Planting Depth / Spacing: 3″ deep / 3–4″ apart Deer Resistant: Yes Bulbs per Pack: 30
Design and seasonal care
Plant the 30 bulbs in informal drifts or repeat small clusters through a border for a more natural display. Position the pointed end upward and avoid low spots that remain wet after irrigation or rain. Water after planting to settle the soil, then keep moisture moderate while roots and shoots develop. When flowering ends, remove spent stems but leave green foliage in place until it yellows naturally; the leaves replenish the bulb for a future season. Bloom time, height, perennial performance, and return vary with climate and site.
