Japanese Iris 5

- Description
Sorry - this iris is soldout
This exquisite Japanese Iris (Iris ensata) displays a stunning contrast of fine veining and bold color that captures the essence of elegance and detail in garden design:
🌸 Flower Description:
Color: The petals are a pale lavender to icy blue base, dramatically overlaid with deep violet-purple veining that radiates outward like fine brush strokes. These veins give the bloom a rich, graphic texture.
Highlights: At the throat of each fall, there's a vibrant yellow signal patch, which draws in pollinators and adds a splash of warmth to the cool-toned petals.
Structure: This iris is likely a semi-double form, with upright standards and flat, broad falls creating a refined, symmetrical display. The outer petals are slightly ruffled, softening the strong veining.
🌿 Foliage & Habit:
Narrow, sword-shaped green leaves rise vertically from the base, providing structure and a clean background to highlight the intricate blooms.
The plant itself grows in tidy clumps and thrives in moist conditions, often used around water features or rain gardens.
🌞 Care Notes:
Prefers full sun to part shade.
Requires consistently moist, acidic soil to flourish.
Blooms in early to mid-summer and benefits from division every few years to maintain vigor.
Japanese Irises like this one are showstoppers in both naturalistic and formal gardens.
