Iris, Japanese

About Iris, Japanese

Huge, flat iris blossoms. Native to Japanese and Siberian pond edges, so they require moisture, but will do well in gardens if watered regularly. Requires good drainage in winter. Blooms about a month after bearded iris, from late June into early July. See more Iris (Bearded, Blue Flag, Crested, Eye Shadow, Siberian) and Blackberry Lily and Candy Lily.
