IRIS TECT. CRUELLA

A compact, rhizomatous perennial forming neat fans of sword-like leaves strikingly variegated pale green and cream, producing delicate, pale blue, crested flowers in late spring to early summer. Best in well-drained, moderately fertile soil with good light; it grows happily in full sun or light shade and suits beds and borders, containers, and low-maintenance ground cover in Irish gardens.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
