Iris ensata & hybrids (Japanese Iris or Hanashobu)

Iris ensata (another species from Japan) are moisture loving irises. They flourish in ponds inundated with water during the growing months (spring and summer), but will die if left waterlogged during winter. For best results, only submerged half depth of the pot into water. This iris will go completely dormant during winter. Very attractive when used in landscaped display gardens. Approximate growth is 1m in height under ideal conditions. Dispatch anytime of the year unless specified.
