Description
Iris hollandica White van Vliet is a top-tier white Dutch Iris that offers a pristine, high-contrast addition to any spring bulb scheme. Its pure snow-white petals are offset by vibrant golden-yellow signals, giving it a clean yet dramatic edge ideal for structured designs. Reaching a dependable height of 55–65cm, this variety is widely used in public planting schemes, formal garden borders, and high-end floral displays.
Perfect for professional landscapes across Ireland, White van Vliet thrives in sunny positions with free-draining soil. It’s especially valuable for adding brightness to mixed bulb beds and can be used to lift darker combinations such as Iris hollandica Eye of the Tiger, Tulip Ronaldo, or Fritillaria persica. In naturalistic meadow-style borders, it pairs beautifully with airy options like Scilla litardierei, Camassia cusickii, and Hyacinthoides non-scripta.
Though not a major nectar plant, White van Vliet can be incorporated into wildlife-friendly planting if used alongside more pollinator-attracting species such as Allium sphaerocephalon. Its strong, upright stems also make it a valuable addition to cut-flower gardens, with a vase life that appeals to florists and growers alike.
Easy to plant, reliably perennial in Irish conditions, and visually versatile, this is a Dutch Iris that truly earns its place in every planting plan — whether for municipal projects, garden redesigns, or retail clients seeking a classic white bloom.
