Iris
reticulata
by Iza Goroff
Iris
reticulata, a native of the Caucuses Mountains,
Turkey, Iraq, and Iran, is one of the bulbous irises
commonly available which are suitable for the rock garden. I.
reticulata comes in a variety of color
selections. The long, four sided, leaves die several weeks
after flowering. The plant requires good drainage and a
sunny location.
Other
related bulbous Iris species, requiring similar culture, are
I. histrioides (light
blue), I. danfordiae
(yellow), and I.
winowgradowii (yellow).
