| Description | Orthrosanthus multiflorus 'Morning Iris/Flag'
Morning Iris is one of those wonderful grass-like clumping plants that look fantastic with very little effort and also brings a rare true blue flower into your colour scheme in the garden. A member of the Iris family, the starry blue flowers only last a day each but are produced in profusion during spring and early summer such that the plant is rarely out of flower during that time. It is a really tough plant that will benefit from a once a year clean up after flowering with the removal of old flower stems. Prefers semi shade, but will tolerate full sun. Mulch to keep the soil moist and to deter weed growth.
6" pot size. | Wisteria floribunda 'Alba'
Japanese White Wisteria or Wisteria floribunda 'Alba' produce very long drooping flowers in the spring upon a lush, leafy green background. The flowers are highly fragrant and are much longer than the Chinese varieties, reaching a lengthy 60cm long!
Wisteria floribunda are a very hardy, fast growing climber, tolerating most soil conditions and positions. They flower best in a full sun position and benefit from a good, hard prune in the winter to maintain shape.
