Northern blue flag iris (Iris versicolor)

The northern blue flag iris is ideally suited for wetland areas such as the edges of ponds and lakes, water meadows, and other aquatic environments. It can thrive in shallow standing water up to 15 cm deep and can endure brief periods of full submersion. This perennial plant, known for its striking flowers, typically reaches heights between 10 and 79 cm. For best results, plant it in nutrient-rich, consistently moist soil with access to full or partial sunlight.
