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 mauve blue, with a touch of white at the heart of the flower. Exceptionally long-flowering, producing a marvellous succession of ruffled flowers. Won the very top prizes on its introduction in 1977 but perhaps the best indicator of its quality is that it remains so popular today, even though there have been so many new irises introduced in the intervening years. It has one fault: a tendency for the stems to need some support when in full flower (earning it the nickname “Victoria Falls Over”). I position it where other plants shelter it from the wind.
Un blu malva, con un tocco di bianco al centro del fiore. Fioritura eccezionalmente lunga, producendo una successione meravigliosa di fiori arruffati. Ha vinto tutti i premi principale al momento della sua introduzione nel 1977, ma forse il migliore indicatore della sua qualità è che rimane così popolare oggi, anche se ci sono stati tanti nuovi iridi introdotte negli anni successivi. Ha un difetto: puo avere besogno di supporto quando in piena fioritura (guadagnandosi il soprannome di “Victoria Falls Over”, cioè Victoria cade). Meglio essere posizionato dove altre piante danno riparo dal vento.
