The Iris Eyecatcher from Thompson and Morgan is an ideal choice for gardeners looking to introduce early seasonal color to rockeries, borders, or patio containers. These dwarf reticulata bulbs are highly valued for their compact size and striking white, blue, and gold-flecked petals that bloom in late winter or early spring. While they offer a reliable and recurring display, gardeners should note that they require well-drained soil to thrive and are strictly seasonal in their planting requirements.

Yes, they are excellent for patio containers, provided the pot has good drainage.
