Iris ensata ‘Double Delight’


Japanese Iris

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.288.090


Japanese Iris have been treasured in Japan for centuries, with many excellent hybrids selected over time. They require neutral to acidic soil, and lots of moisture until blooming time is over. This selection forms a vigorous clump of grassy-green leaves, bearing large double-petalled blooms of bright sky blue. Plants will be happy at the waterside, and can even be grown in pots sitting in water. Great for cutting. Performs best if divided every 3 to 4 years in late summer. Fertilize in spring and again just after flowering is over. A wonderful foliage accent. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten.
