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 strange beauty, difficult to describe satisfactorily. The flowers are a pale ecru, tinted greenish on the falls and with a touch of warm tan close to the hafts. The beards extend into long, pointed, violet horns. That all sounds just downright weird but what you need to know the overall effect is, in fact very lovely, and the plant is so vigorous and floriferous that it produces a splendid display within a year or two of planting. In our display, visitors cluster around it.
Una strana bellezza, difficile da descrivere in modo soddisfacente. I fiori sono un ecru pallida, tinta verdastra sulle ali e con un tocco di marrone caldo vicino alle barbe. Le barbe si estendono in lunghe, appuntite, corna viola. Sembra decisamente strano, descritto cosi, ma l’importante è capire che l’effetto complessivo è, in realtà, molto bella. La pianta è così vigorosa e fiorifera che produce uno splendido ciuffo entro un anno o due. Nel nostro giardino di esposizione, i visitatori si raggruppano intorno ad esso.
