This shallow water-loving beauty boasts vibrant blue-purple flowers adorned with captivating veining, creating a stunning display - its sword-shaped leaves stand proudly, making it an ideal choice for pond edges or bog gardens.

Easy to thrive in damp soil or shallow waters, Iris versicolor is a less vigorous alternative to the yellow flag, and is perfect for various-sized ponds and lakes, as well as small water features or container gardening under the right conditions. With a penchant for moist to wet, humus-rich, acid soil and a preference for full sun, this iris is also attractive to wildlife.
