Iris Ensata Pinkerton

1GALLON POT

(Japanese)

Full Sun to Part Shade

Zone 4   Nearly every gardener who sees Japanese iris in bloom wants to try them. The huge blossoms can be dinner plate size, but 6-8" is common. They require neutral to acidic soil, and lots of moisture until blooming time is over. Plants will be happy at the waterside, and can even be grown in pots sitting in water. 

A beautiful Japanese Iris with soft pink flowers. Pink crests arch above six bands of showy falls with dark veining and rippled edges. Bloom size on 'Pinkerton' is consistent with other Japanese Iris at 7" wide, nearly twice the size of some Siberian Iris. These plants are later to bloom, sometimes not flowering until a month after Siberian Iris have started.
