Iris setosa is perfect for adding a splash of vivid colour to damp borders, pond edges, or naturalistic planting schemes. The flowers have very large falls that are a vivid deep violet blue with delicate white markings, topped by discrete standards. The spring and early summer blooms are accompanied by mid-green, strappy, arching leaves that spread to form dense clumps. Thriving in ponds or boggy soils, it makes a reliable choice for wildlife friendly gardens, attracting pollinators while offering rich colour and graceful foliage. RHS Award of Garden Merit. Water depth: 0-15cm. Ultimate height: 70cm to 100cm (27in-39in). Ultimate spread: 50cm (20in).

Water iris thrive in damp, acid or neutral soil in a sunny or semi-shaded position. These moisture loving iris require a rich, fertile soil which has had plenty of well rotted organic matter added into the soil prior to planting. Grow in moist, boggy soils or submerged in the shallow margins of ponds with the crown to a maximum depth of up to 20cm (8") below water level. Choose a position in sun or semi shade.
