Overview

The combination of variegated foliage and rich purple flowers in summer, makes this a handsome addition to the edges of a pond. Plant it straight into the ground and it will spread to form a generous swathe, or pot it up if you want a more compact clump.

Specifications

  • Position: full sun or partial shade
  • Soil: reliably moist or boggy soil, or aquatic compost
  • Depth of water: 0-15cm
  • Rate of growth: average to fast-growing
  • Flowering period: May to July
  • Hardiness: fully hardy
  • Toxicity: Harmful to humans and pets if eaten

Care guide

To encourage healthy growth of roots, foliage and flowers, feed with a general-purpose or slow-release aquatic fertiliser. Remove yellow or brown leaves to keep the plant healthy and the water clean. Cut water iris to just above the water line in autumn if you live in a cooler part of the country.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
