Iris ‘Harmony’ is a compact, early-flowering, cultivated variety with striking royal blue blooms that appear in late winter to early spring. Each flower has a bold yellow central band and delicate white markings on the falls, while the slightly feathered crests give a softly ruffled, textured look.
Its vivid colour and neat habit make it perfect for pots, rock gardens, or the front of sunny borders where it brings a bright splash of colour at the start of the year.

Plant Iris reticulata bulbs in autumn, around 8-10cm (3-4in) deep and 8-10cm (3-4in) apart, in well-drained soil and a sunny position. They thrive rock gardens, gravel areas, or pots where excess moisture can drain freely. Water after planting and allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, as the bulbs dislike sitting wet.
For plants supplied in 9cm pots, simply plant out at the same depth as they are in the pot once the risk of hard frost has passed, or display them in containers for early colour. Choose a bright, sunny spot and ensure the compost drains well.
After flowering, allow the leaves to die back naturally so the bulbs can store energy for next year. Once the foliage has withered, reduce watering and keep the soil on the dry side through summer dormancy. In pots, you can move the containers to a sheltered, dry spot over summer or lift and store the bulbs until autumn replanting.
