BRIEF AND BEAUTIFUL: The bearded iris is a hardy perennial suitable for borders and available in many hues
Renowned garden designer Sarah Price is designing the show’s Nurture Landscapes Garden, which features a plethora of irises in a variety of moody pastels, purples and deep yellows – inspired by the artist and plantsman Cedric Morris and his naturalistic garden at Benton End, Hadleigh, in Suffolk, where he bred and planted 90 different varieties.

Those we are used to seeing today are highly bred, so maybe slightly shorter but flower for longer. But there is something particularly beautiful about the Benton iris.” You can also grow our native Iris pseudacorus in ponds, where their roots and crowns can be covered by water, and Iris x robusta ‘Gerald Darby’, with purple flower stems which carry blue flowers in midsummer and will grow in shallow water.Which situation do they need?
