Mature Plants
We are introducing a new plant category this year that we will call ‘Mature Plants’. This is in addition to our Standard Sales Plant. Below we explain the difference.
Standard Sales Plants – We supply plants grown in 9cm pots with developed root systems and recommend that your irises spend twelve months in the ground before flowering. We despatch irises from the end of May/June until the end of October, rather than once at the end of then season. Getting your irises properly established is essential for a plant that will last twenty years plus. Accelerating the process carries a risk of a plant flowering poorly in the first year, and then taking a couple of years to recover, and some do not make it. It is important not to rush the process.
Mature Plants – From time to time we have irises that are fully mature that are surplus to our immediate requirements. We plan to make these available for the first time in 2025 and in limited numbers at a price of £25.00 per rhizome. This compares with the £18.50 for the standard Sales Plant.
We expect demand to be limited, but recognise that this does offer a genuine opportunity to accelerate the process, albeit at some extra cost. I know too that this may be popular with some of our more mature customers.
Varieties Available – Initially we pan to offer three varieties:
(i) Red Pike
Red Pike
(ii) Annabel Jane
(iii) Ice Pinnacle
