Miniature Dwarf Bearded Iris (MDB)The miniature dwarf bearded iris is not only the smallest, but also the earliest of the bearded iris to bloom. They grow to 20cm (8”), and bring lovely colours into the garden from March into April. In the rockery they can bring pockets of colour of deep blues and violets, bright and pale yellows, pale and mid blues, whites, and with modern hybridizing there are now also oranges, apricots and pinks available.Stems usually carry two flowers, but many more modern varieties now have three buds, which all goes to prolonging the flowering time.
