Iris Ensata Dinner Plate Blueberry Pie

1 GALLON POT 
(Japanese)

Zone 4

Full Sun/Partial Shade

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

Produces magnificent deep blue blooms of up to 15 cm (6”) across, borne upon stiff, upright stems. Like all Japanese Iris, this large-flowered variety is at its best in a damp border or in the moist soil close to the edge of a pond. Great for colour and drama in early summer months.
