Description
(Iris Pseudacorus ‘Variegata’)
Iris Pseudacorus ‘Variegata’ (Variegated Yellow Flag Iris) is a handsome shallow water marginal pond plant. This iris produces spectacular yellow/green variegated leaves from very early spring. The rich yellow flowers appear from early to mid summer. As the summer progresses the variegation in the leaves tends to fade. Suitable for planting in your pond margins, alongside lakes and streams and in bog gardens or wetland areas. A beautiful plants just as spectacular is its family member the yellow flag iris.
- Variegated Yellow Flag Iris will perform best in full sun but will tolerate semi-shade, although if too dark the variegation will suffer. Grow in moist soil or shallow water.
- When mature can produce large clumps which can be split and divided as they mature.
- Height up to 152cm (5 ft) tall
- Planting depth maximum up to 10cm over the crown.
- Easy to maintain cut back after flowering leaving the old foliage on so that the plant can take the nutrients back into the roots and once the foliage pulls easily away from the plant it can be removed
- We would recommend a planting basket of at least 11cm across for one plant or, for more impact, plant several of the same variety in a larger basket.
- Product Code: M0420
- We ship all marginal water plants bare root, this means that we wash the soil off before packing plants. During the summer months we may need to trim some of the foliage back for shipping.
