Transform your pond’s landscape with the stunning Iris Pseudacorus, a marginal plant known for its bright yellow flowers. These aquatic plants thrive in shallow waters and are perfect for planting at the edges of your pond.
Marginal plants like the Iris Pseudacorus not only beautify your garden but also provide essential habitat for wildlife. They can tolerate waterlogged soils and can be planted no deeper than four inches below the water level. Remarkably versatile, these hardy plants can also flourish in moist soil outside of water.
Benefits: As the only native aquatic iris, it is vigorous in boggy conditions and has historical significance as the emblem of France, the Fleur-de-lys. However, be cautious; the tubers are toxic if ingested.

Iris Pseudacorus Care Tips: After the foliage dies back in autumn, trim it back to just above the water surface. If you wait until spring, be careful not to damage the new shoots.
For optimal growth, 9cm marginal plants benefit from being potted into larger mesh baskets, while 1-litre plants can be placed directly into ponds no deeper than half the maximum recommended depth. Larger plants are already established and can be placed up to the maximum depth without repotting.
