One of the earliest bloomers of spring, the Louisiana Iris brings elegance and drama to any water garden. These beauties love wet feet, making them excellent pond-edge and marginal plants. They thrive in boggy, moist areas and can grow large, lush, and wonderfully showy.
Tall, sword-like green foliage rises up to frame their impressive blooms. Some varieties stay compact, but all offer bold, eye-catching flowers. This ruffled white form with lime-green signals makes a beautiful wedding accent—fresh, clean, and striking.
