Aquatic Plants - Aquatic Iris

The Iris (and most other marginal plants) serve to frame the water surface and to add a third (vertical) dimension to the pond picture. Most Iris blossom over a 2-3 week period with the earlier varieties starting to blossom in early May here at the farm and the latest (‘Rose Queen’ and our own ‘Freckles’) blossoming in July. We offer plenty of choices to equip you to provide a steady succession of bloom for 10-12 weeks (and you thought that was just to confuse you). Most grow to roughly 2’ tall, Depth (measured from top of pot or soilsurface to water surface) desired is 0-6” except as noted. Propagated vegetatively and painstakingly and grown on our farm to ensure hardiness and variety. Some additional specialty Iris may be available.
