The Golden Aquatic Iris is a beautiful marginal plant that flourishes at the edges of your pond with its stunning yellow flowers. Ideal for shallow planting shelves, these resilient plants thrive in waterlogged soil but should be positioned no deeper than four inches below the water surface. They can also grow successfully outside of water as long as their soil remains consistently moist.
This native aquatic iris is not only recognized for its vibrant blooms but also has historical significance as the inspiration behind the royal French emblem, the Fleur-de-lys. It grows rapidly, reaching heights between 80cm and 120cm, and is best planted during the summer months.
Key Benefits:
- Perfect for shallow water areas.
- Vigorous growth in boggy conditions.
- Native species with historical importance.
Helpful Tips: After the foliage dies back in autumn, trim it back to just above the water surface. If you wait until spring to trim, be cautious not to damage any new shoots. For optimal growth, 9cm marginal plants should be potted into larger mesh baskets and placed at the recommended depth.
