Description

Pixie is a vivid and bold cultivar of Iris reticulata, offering intense deep violet-blue petals with darker veining and a golden signal patch. A compact gem growing to just 10–12 cm, it’s superb for low-maintenance alpine gardens, raised troughs, or densely planted containers. In Irish conditions, it excels when planted in sun-drenched beds with free-draining soil.

For enhanced impact, group with lighter companions like Iris Frozen Planet or yellow Crocus chrysanthus. Excellent for naturalising in gravel or scree gardens. As a very early bloomer, it’s among the first available nectar sources for bees. Especially valuable in milder coastal areas of Ireland.
