Flowering Months

Iris x robusta 'Dark Aura' is a particularly classy perennial! The young foliage emerges a deep reddish-purple colour which slowly matures to green with a purple flush at the base of each leaf. In summer, this hardy perennial throws up dark purple stems topped with opulent violet-purple blooms. A striking moisture loving Iris for wet, boggy areas and the shallow margins of ponds, where it casts beautiful reflections upon still water. Height: 90cm (36"). Spread: 30cm (12"). Planting depth: Zones 1 & 2 to 15cm (6") below water level.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow

Iris x robusta plants 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 Iris x robusta in moist, boggy soils or submerged in the shallow margins of ponds with the crown to a maximum depth of up to 15cm (6") below water level. Choose a position in sun or semi shade.

More Info

When grown in damp borders, Iris x robusta requires reliably moist soil. Water if necessary during dry periods to prevent the soil from drying out. Overcrowded clumps of Iris plants can be divided in autumn after flowering. Mulch around the base of Iris x robusta in spring to help retain moisture at their roots. Iris that are grown in ponds may be cut back to just above the water surface in autumn.
