Bearded irises have 'beards' on each of the falls (lower petals) of the flowers. Iris 'Petit Tigre' is a lovely plicata variety, meaning the petals have a stippled pattern over a white or pale background. Here, the standards are a bronze-yellow and bronze-streaked yellow falls with bronze beards.

Grow Iris 'Petit Tigre' in a mixed herbaceous border or gravel garden. With shorter stems, 'Petit Tigre' is also suitable for growing on slopes and in windy gardens.

For best results grow in well-drained soil in full sun, and mulch with well-rotted manure or garden compost annually.
