Swamp Iris (Louisiana Iris)

Plant rhizome divisions in moist to wet, acidic, humus-rich soil in partial shade to full sun; this native species is the parent of the beloved Louisiana iris hybrid group, growing naturally in swamps, bayou margins, ditches, and wet flatwoods of the Gulf Coast from Florida to Texas. The large, elegant blue-violet flowers (occasionally varying to pink or white) in spring are extraordinary among native wildflowers for their sophisticated form and vivid color. Louisiana iris hybrids have expanded the color range to include burgundy, yellow, white, pink, and bicolors — if you want color variety, seek out named Louisiana iris hybrids from specialty nurseries; for native restoration, stick with the true species. All parts of the plant are toxic if ingested. Plant at pond margins, in rain gardens, or in any consistently wet spot. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження діленням куща Відстань між рослинами: 18–24 дюймів Висота: 24–48 дюймів
