Iris Danfordiae

Iris danfordiae, commonly known as the Danford iris, is a petite and charming bulbous plant that heralds the arrival of spring with its bright and cheerful blooms. Native to Turkey, this iris species stands only 4-6 inches tall, but its impact in the garden is significant. It features vibrant, buttery yellow flowers with a bold, central maroon spot, creating a striking contrast. Blooming early in the season, Iris danfordiae adds a burst of sunshine to rock gardens, borders, or containers. This easy-to-grow iris prefers well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, making it a delightful addition for early spring color and garden enthusiasts.
