Description:
'Orange Glow' offers a stunning colour break with orange, yellow, and black flowers with striking detailing. This and other cultivars like 'Mars Landing' represent the cutting edge of breeder Alan McMurtrie's work creating colourful and striking new forms of Iris reticulata, a species that is sweetly fragrant with large flowers in relation to the size of the plant. These hardy dwarf Iris prefer full sun in a position that is well-drained. They will go dormant by summer so plant them where they can grow up through perennial ground covers.
