Iris sibirica 'Gulls Wing'
Iris sibirica 'Gulls Wing' is a gracefully charming iris renowned for its ease of cultivation and striking beauty. This resilient perennial swiftly establishes itself, developing into a substantial clump from which emerge tall, slender stems adorned with multiple delicate, pure white flowers. Blooming from June to July, these exquisite blooms evoke a sense of purity and elegance in the garden, creating a serene and enchanting atmosphere.
Thriving in moist soils, 'Gulls Wing' performs admirably in both sunny and partially shaded locations, making it a versatile choice for various garden settings. Its adaptability allows it to flourish in borders, woodland gardens, or even waterside landscapes. Planted near ponds or water features, it adds a touch of sophistication and grace, enhancing the tranquil ambiance with its ethereal blooms and verdant foliage.
