Irises are the shooting stars of the summer garden. We look at the stunning collection of historic irises at Sissinghurst Castle Garden and learn how the Gardeners are bringing back some of the lost irises of Sissinghurst, in order to restore Vita and Harold's original collection. Visit the garden in May and be inspired by these beautiful flowers.

Although I’m not a huge iris fan, that garden is spectacular. I must confess that I do have a few in my American garden. An expat watching in S Florida.

This was a joy to watch. I love irises and roses and the planting combination was sublime. I hope, this year, to come and visit the garden. Thank you so much. Best wishes from Lottie in Suffolk.

So nice to see this video as I remember our isit to Sissinghurst Garden many years bacķ. I loved our day there but too far from me to visit but once seen never forgotten. Thank you for looking after all the wonderful gardens the National Trust have.❤

I really liked the transitions on this video! Excellent filming- it really showed the vibrant colours of flowers and irises etc:) The commentary accompanies really well with the video!

If you are still missing varieties once grown by Vita, one of the best places to find them is Bluebird Haven Iris Gardens in California. This commercial source has a huge collection of historic irises, and all are pictured on the website. I much prefer the simpler form of the older irises, though some of the modern color breaks are a nice addition, particularly the pinks and sky blues.

I tell you it pays to read through old comments. This is a wonderful resource and their catalogue is extensive! THANK YOU!
