Iris setosa (Marginal Aquatic)

Iris setosa is an excellent choice for those looking to infuse their gardens with vibrant colour, particularly in damp borders, along pond edges, or within naturalistic planting designs. The flowers of this stunning plant feature large, sweeping falls that display a striking deep violet blue, accented by delicate white markings, while the more subtle standards sit gracefully atop. During the spring and early summer, these eye-catching blooms emerge alongside lush, mid-green leaves that are long and strappy, arching elegantly to create dense clumps that enhance the overall visual appeal of the garden.This hardy plant thrives in wet environments, making it a perfect addition to ponds or boggy soils, and it is particularly well-suited for wildlife-friendly gardens. Not only does Iris setosa provide a burst of rich colour, but it also plays a vital role in attracting pollinators, contributing to the ecological balance of the garden. Its graceful foliage and vibrant flowers have earned it the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, solidifying its reputation as a reliable and beautiful choice for gardeners seeking to create a lively and inviting outdoor space.Water depth: 0-15cm.Height: 100cm (39in).
