The brown-veined yellow flowers of this water-loving iris will put on a beautiful show from midsummer, while the slender ridged foliage provides more enduring interest. Plant this is bold clumps or drifts on the margins of a pond where its distinctly upright habit will provide a fabulous contrast to the flat expanse of water, or find a spot in deep, reliably moist soil.
These plants are potted up (using a suitable aquatic compost) into aquatic pots. These pots are made of a fine mesh, which allows water to circulate through the compost, providing the plants with both oxygen and nutrients. If you are using them as a aquatic plant, they can be planted into neutral to acidic soil (for best results) up to a water covering of of 25cm (10in) deep. To enhance flowering divide congested clumps every three to five years.
