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.

A stunning iris which needs to be seen in the flesh to be fully appreciated. It is as if someone has taken a very ruffled pale yellow iris and carefully hand-painted it with watercolour washes of blue, tinged with pink and violet. It seems to be lit from within – hence the name given to this colour type of “luminata”.


Un’iride stupenda che ha bisogno di essere vista in carne e ossa per essere apprezzata appieno. È come se qualcuno avesse preso un iris giallo pallido molto arruffato e l’avesse accuratamente dipinto a mano con acquerelli di blu, sfumati di rosa e viola. Sembra essere illuminato dall’interno, da qui il nome dato a questo tipo di colore “luminata”.
