Water Irises
Water Iris are semi-aquatic bog plants that grow in shallow water, damp soil or even in large plant pots or containers with nutritious compost and regular watering. Varieties such as Iris pseudacorus, or Yellow Flag, prefer to have their roots and crown submerged underwater however many varieties, like the Siberian Iris are perfectly happy in wet clay and damp soil. Laevigata can be vivacious so planting baskets and aquatic soil are advised to control growth and create a strong base for the anchoring plants.

Meet Caroline
A deep dive into sustainable gardening
Nestled amongst wildlife meadows and resident ducks, Caroline’s award winning pond plant nursery in Enfield has been making a splash since 1965, when they invented the (recycled, obvs) aquatic basket. Sixty years and multiple RHS gold medals later, they’re still surprising us with new varieties every year!
