Yellow Iris

Yellow Iris, also known as Iris pseudacorus, is a bold and beautiful pond plant that brings strong vertical foliage and bright seasonal colour to the edge of a pond or water garden. Its tall green leaves create a natural architectural shape, while the rich yellow flowers add a cheerful display from late spring into early summer.

This easy to grow marginal aquatic plant is perfect for softening pond borders, planting along wet banks, or adding colour and height to shallow water areas. Yellow Iris looks especially attractive in natural ponds, wildlife ponds, koi ponds, large water gardens, and boggy areas where the soil stays consistently moist.

For best results, plant Yellow Iris in full sun or partial shade, either directly into wet soil or in an aquatic planting basket placed at the pond margin. Once established, it forms a strong clump of upright foliage and returns reliably each year. In rich wet conditions it can grow vigorously, so removing old flower stems after flowering can help keep the plant tidy and controlled.

Iris pseudacorus is a hardy marginal aquatic perennial suitable for wet soils and shallow water planting. It usually reaches around 80 to 120 cm in height, depending on growing conditions. The recommended planting depth is approximately 0 to 20 cm below the water surface, making it suitable for pond shelves, wet banks, bog gardens, and naturalistic pond edges.

This species produces sword shaped green leaves and large yellow iris flowers, usually from May to July. It performs best in nutrient rich, consistently moist substrates and is useful as a structural flowering plant in aquatic planting schemes, wildlife ponds, reed bed style planting, and planted filtration zones.

Yellow Iris is a dependable choice for customers looking for a hardy pond plant, yellow flowering marginal plant, aquatic plant for wet soil, plant for pond edges, or tall decorative plant for water gardens and boggy areas.
