Iris pumila - Riveting A standout dwarf bearded iris, ‘Riveting’ showcases pristine white standards complemented by deep inky blue‑purple falls with wide blended spots, accented by crisp white darts beside light yellow beards tipped in white. The intensely spicy fragrance adds a sensory spark to spring and early summer gardens. With tall slender foliage beneath, stems reach approximately 38 cm (15 in) high and 25 cm (10 in) wide in bloom, making it perfect for edging, rock gardens, or small-space plantings. Exceptionally cold-hardy to Zone 2, it thrives in full sun to part shade and grows best in well-drained soil—naturally deer- and rabbit-resistant. 1 - 2.5" Plug Fragrant white & purple blooms Compact dwarf habit Deer & rabbit resistant Specifications Details Colour White standards; white-edged inky blue-purple falls with white darts Hardiness Zone 2 - 9 Plant Height ~38 cm (15 in) Plant Width ~25 cm (10 in) Sun Requirements Full sun to partial shade Fragrant Yes (pronounced spicy scent) Deer Resistant Yes (also rabbit resistant) Plant Timing Plant in spring Bloom Timing May - July Plant Depth Rhizome at soil surface Plant Spacing 15–30 cm (6–12 in)
