Striped Water Iris

Iris laevigata 'Variegata'

This beautiful, shade-tolerant iris is doing great in a part-sun spot situated directly in water! It has a tendency to spread in wet areas which is why I kept it in its original pot. Which it doesn’t mind a bit. Two beautiful flowers have popped up so far this year (2018) and I suspect I’ll get a few more in the coming weeks. Its variegated linear leaves provide such a great contrast to the surrounding greenery that I’m tempted to divide and plant it in the soil around the little pond it’s trying to burst out of.
