Product Information

Full details

The Thompson and Morgan Iris Harmony bulbs are ideal for gardeners seeking early-season color, offering striking royal blue petals with golden yellow streaks during the late winter months. These bulbs provide a high-impact, low-maintenance floral display that naturalizes well over time, making them a perfect choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. While they offer effortless beauty, it is important to note that they require well-draining soil to prevent rot, as they are sensitive to excessive moisture during their dormant period.

FAQs

When is the best time to plant Iris Harmony bulbs?

These bulbs should be planted in the autumn, ideally before the ground freezes, to establish roots before winter.

Can these irises survive cold winters?

Yes, Iris Harmony is a hardy bulb designed to withstand cold temperatures and will bloom in late winter when temperatures begin to rise slightly.

How deep should I plant these bulbs?

Plant the bulbs approximately 5-7cm deep in well-draining soil.

Are these suitable for indoor display?

Yes, they can be grown in deep containers on a cool, sunny windowsill for an early display, though they perform best outdoors in the ground.

Do I need to lift the bulbs in the summer?

No, these are perennial bulbs that are happy to remain in the ground year-round as long as the soil remains well-draining.

How many bulbs come in the pack?

This package contains 160 bulbs.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs failing to bloom

Ensure they are planted in a spot that receives full sun and that the soil drainage is sufficient to prevent the bulb from rotting underground.

Stems are drooping or 'leggy'

This often occurs if the bulbs are in an area with insufficient light or, for indoor pots, if the room temperature is too warm. Move to a cooler, brighter location.

Flowers appearing small or weak

Ensure the foliage is allowed to die back naturally after the previous year's bloom to ensure the bulb has enough energy stored for the next cycle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for early spring color in February and March
  • Compact size makes them suitable for containers and small garden spaces
  • Naturalizes effectively to return for future seasons
  • High-contrast, eye-catching color combination
  • Generous 160-bulb count allows for mass planting impact

Cons

  • Requires very well-draining soil to prevent bulb rot
  • Short stature may get lost if planted behind taller, late-season perennials
  • Sensitive to waterlogged conditions during winter months

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Planting: Plant the bulbs in autumn at a depth of approximately 5-7cm. Ensure the pointed end is facing upward and space them about 5-7cm apart for a dense display.

Soil: These irises thrive in sunny spots with well-draining, gritty soil. If your soil is heavy clay, add horticultural grit to the planting hole to improve drainage.

Sunlight: Full sun is preferred to ensure strong stems and vibrant color production.

Maintenance: Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering; this process is vital for the bulb to store energy for the following year. Once the leaves have turned yellow and withered, you can tidy them up. Avoid overwatering during the dormant summer months.
