Iris 'Ruffled Velvet' looks wonderful when planted at the edges of a pond, but is equally worthy of a place in a mixed or herbaceous border.


  • Garden care:
    Plant in soil that has been improved with well-rotted manure or garden compost and do not allow to dry out, particularly as the plant is getting established. If planted in a container, it will need dividing and repotting every couple of years in spring.
    • Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten
