Batik Iris

Iris germanica 'Batik'

← All Iris varieties

Streaked and splashed purple-and-white pattern unlike any other iris. Each bloom is unique, like brushwork on silk.

Dangerous to cats

Toxic to cats and dogs, the rhizome most of all. Vomiting, drooling and diarrhoea are the usual signs.

Handle with care

The rhizomes irritate skin and are the most poisonous part if eaten. Wear gloves to lift or divide a clump.
