Iris pseudacorus 'Variegata'
variegated flag iris
Sulphur yellow flowers on branched stems in summer, showcasing white or yellow-striped, grey-green leaves. This variegated yellow flag iris is perfect for planting at the margins of a large lake or pool. Since it's an extremely vigorous variety, Iris pseudacorus 'Variegata' is unsuitable for small garden ponds.
How to care for Iris pseudacorus Variegata:
These plants are potted up (using a suitable aquatic compost) into aquatic pots. These pots are made of a fine mesh, which allows water to circulate through the compost, providing the plants with both oxygen and nutrients. If you are using them as a aquatic plant, they can be placed straight into the pond, however they will perform better if planted out sooner rather than later. To enhance flowering divide congested clumps every three to five years.
