Iris 2024

[Van Gelis]

Iris unguicularis subsp. carica, January 2024, Pindos.

Wonderful Iris Vangelis !! In our climate it is not a good flowering species ...

Hi Kris, I have noticed that even in the wild most populations are very shy of flowering. But there are very free flowering individuals. I can take for you a division from my plants if you wish.

And here is a dark form. In my region they grow exclusively in the shade. I think the belief that they are sun plants is not quite correct for all the subspecies.

Superb color Vangelis !  First time I hear the theorie of not growing them in full sun...  I tried it in full sun outside and had no flowering...  However we must take into account that full sun in Belgium is not tha same as in Greece...    And shade is Greede is also quite different from shade in Belgium...

You get more flowers if you grow the plant potbound

Especially this year, full sun in Belgium was hard to find  . I agree the conditions are different. But the plants I show for sure like moisture and rich conditions. The rhizome is always deep in the soil, even the seed pods are formed  even 10cm under ground
