A beautiful, moisture-loving iris that can be planted at the edges of a pond, where its upright strap-shaped foliage will offset that visual impact of the flat expanse of water. In early summer, 'Ann Chowning' produces sumptuously coloured red flowers with just a flash of yellow at the base of the falls.
While Iris louisiana tolerates a range of soil moistures, we are offering this plant in our aquatic soil mix in aquatic pots for planting at or below the water line. Plant in neutral to acidic soils or pond margins at a depth of 0-10cm (0-4in). Little maintenance is required - cut back flowering stalks after flowering. Do not allow to dry out.
