Whether used in floral arrangements or displayed in a garden bed, this iris will undoubtedly make a statement wherever it is planted. Its striking color palette will effortlessly blend with other flowers or create a striking focal point on its own.

In terms of care, the 'Apollo' iris requires the same attention as other iris varieties. It thrives best in well-draining soil and should be planted in a location that receives at least six hours of sunlight per day. Regular watering and occasional fertilization will ensure healthy growth and abundant blooms. Additionally, it is essential to remove wilted flowers to encourage more blossoms and maintain the aesthetic appeal of the plant.

Whether you're an avid iris collector or simply appreciate the beauty of flowers, 'Apollo' is a must-have addition to any garden. Its captivating multi-colored flower distribution, combined with the stunning yellow and white tones, creates an unforgettable visual experience.
