Iris bucharica (Juno Iris) is a vigorous bulbous iris with erect stems bearing narrowly lance-shaped, shiny green leaves. The foliage persists until early summer and then dies. In spring, delightfully scented bicolored flowers, up to 2 in. across (5 cm), with white standards and yellow falls are bone at the end of the stems and in each leaf axil. A cheerful bulbous perennial that brings life and color in the rock garden or perennial border.

  • Grows up to 16-18 in. tall (40-45 cm) and 8-12 in. wide (20-30 cm).
  • Easily grown in average, medium moisture, neutral or slightly alkaline, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates light shade but best in full sun. Good soil drainage and hot summertime temperatures are required to prevent the bulbs and fleshy roots from rotting away.
  • Perfect for rock gardens, beds and borders. Spectacular when planted in groups.
  • To be planted in fall, 4 in. deep (10 cm) and 4 in. apart (10 cm).
  • No serious pest or disease issues. Keep an eye out for slugs and snails.
  • Propagate by seed, sown in pots in a cold frame in autumn or spring. Lift and separate bulbs in early autumn.
  • All parts may cause discomfort if ingested. Wear gloves and other protective equipment when handling.
  • Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
  • Native to temperate Central Asia in north-eastern Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan around Bukhara
