Pond & Bog Iris

A few species and crosses of Iris can be grown in shallow water, along creek embankments, in wet soil. 
Iris that can be submerged in up to 4 inches below water are Louisiana Iris cultivars, laevigata Iris cultivars, pseudatata iris, & flag Irises.
Pseudatata iris, a new cross of species also is fine with being submerged a few inches.
The very beautiful Japanese ensata iris varieties love moist boggy soil but won't tolerate submersion more than 2 months a year. Divide your pond Iris in the fall for low to no mortality.
All of our iris except laevigata varieties can grow outside the pond if watered a few times per week.
