Iris 'Katharine Hodgkin' (Reticulata)
iris
The great attributes of this plant have been recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society with their Award of Garden Merit. The flowers are breathtakingly intricate. Each bloom has a creamy-yellow base, overlaid with sky blue and a deep yellow centre, with green flecks and spots. These appear in January to February so they are up at the same time as the crocuses. They make excellent container and rock garden flowers.
