Iris sibirica (Siberian flag) marginal pond plant
Iris sibirica, commonly known as Siberian Flag, is a graceful UK-grown marginal pond plant with elegant blue flowers. Firstly, it produces delicate, violet-blue blooms from late spring to early summer, adding soft colour to pond edges. Moreover, it features slender, sword-shaped green leaves that create attractive vertical accents in wet gardens. Because it’s UK-grown, Siberian Flag is well-suited to local climates and thrives in typical UK conditions. In addition, it prefers moist to wet soil and grows best in full sun to partial shade. Also, this hardy perennial tolerates occasional flooding and waterlogged soils, making it ideal for pond margins. Although it looks delicate, Iris sibirica is low-maintenance and returns reliably year after year. To encourage strong flowering, water regularly during dry spells and divide clumps every three to four years. Furthermore, cutting back dead foliage in late autumn keeps the plant tidy and healthy. Equally, it complements other pond plants with its elegant form and soft blue hues. Notably, it attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, supporting local wildlife. Unlike some pond plants, it doesn’t spread aggressively, making it easy to manage. Order your UK-grown Iris sibirica today and add graceful colour and texture to your pond garden!
