(6-7 sun/aquatic marginal)   1mx60cm

The flower is a complex 'hose in hose' double on this native water iris. Grows in moist or boggy soil or can be placed in the pond as an aquatic marginal. Comes true from seed, but can take a season to settle down after initial planting and then grows well. Easy and a good attractor of wildlife. Flowering from late May to early July the individual flowers are more long lasting than the species. Cut back old foliage in autumn if planted as a marginal and spring if planted in soil.
