IrisUmbria.it Online Store

You can browse irises by name, size, colour group, flowering time, style, or qualities (such as prizewinning, perfumed, reblooming irises, and historic irises). You can also buy our virgin olive oil (collection only) and view our holiday rentals. Please note that for most of our irises there are (subject to availability) significant discounts if you order 3 or 5 of the same variety in the same order.

Important notice! We supply irises as bare root rhizomes which are dug from the field to your order and therefore they can only be delivered during the lifting season, in September-October each year, and there is a cut off date for orders after which any orders will be suppled the following year. For delivery in 2026, we are accepting orders up until 18 October 2026, inclusive, for orders destined for Italy and the EU, and 20 September 2026 for orders destined for the UK. Orders placed after those dates will not be delivered until 2027.

The name is apt, since the flowers quiver in the wind like lots of little lilac butterflies. Lots of buds on each stem make for a good long period of bloom. A lovely colour to combine with pink roses.

Note that the rhizomes of miniature tall bearded irises are very small compared with tall bearded irises but once established the plants will form a good clump.


Il nome è ben scelto, poiché i fiori tremano nel vento come tante piccole farfalle lilla. Un sacco di boccioli su ogni gambo fanno per un buon periodo lungo di fioritura. Un bel colore da abbinare alle rose rosa.

Si nota che i rizomi di iris barbati alti “in miniatura” sono molto piccoli rispetto alle iris barbati alti, ma una volta stabilite le piante formeranno un buon ciuffo.
