Lavender Park

If there were ever a true workhorse in the iris world, it would be Lavender Park. Yes, it’s a decorated beauty — but what truly sets it apart is its remarkable garden performance.  If you are new to the world of bearded iris - buy this one!

A prolific bloomer and strong increaser, Lavender Park is both easy to grow and widely adaptable. Trouble-free and unfussy, it brings consistency and calm to garden borders year after year. Whether used as a soft feature or as part of a tonal mass planting, it delivers reliability without sacrificing elegance.

Its luminous lavender colouring — neither too blue nor too pink — allows it to blend effortlessly or shine solo. The result is serenity and quiet structure in one easy, graceful package.  It’s the only iris I’ve planted most in my front garden — and that says everything.
