Iris versicolor ‘Kermesina’ (Northern Blue Flag) marginal pond plant

Iris versicolor ‘Kermesina’, also known as Northern Blue Flag, is a stunning UK-grown marginal pond plant with vibrant blooms.
Firstly, it produces striking deep purple-blue flowers with delicate markings from late spring to early summer.
Moreover, it adds bold colour and elegant vertical structure to pond edges and wet garden areas.
Because it’s UK-grown, this variety is well-adapted to local climates and grows reliably each season.
In addition, it thrives in moist to wet soils and prefers full sun to partial shade for best flowering.
Also, it’s perfect for pond margins, bog gardens, or damp borders needing a splash of vibrant colour.
Although it looks dramatic, Iris versicolor ‘Kermesina’ requires minimal care once established.
To promote healthy growth, water regularly during dry spells and divide clumps every few years.
Furthermore, cutting back dead foliage in late autumn helps maintain a tidy appearance.
Equally, its tall, sword-like leaves provide excellent contrast when paired with softer, flowering pond plants.
Notably, it attracts pollinators, supporting local wildlife and biodiversity in your garden.
Unlike many pond plants, it offers year-round structure with evergreen basal leaves.
Order your UK-grown Iris versicolor ‘Kermesina’ today to bring vibrant colour and elegance to your pond garden!

If trimming left until spring take care not to damage emerging shoots.
