Irises

Irises bring vibrant colour and elegance to any pond or wetland area, with stunning blooms appearing in June. Water-loving varieties like Iris pseudacorus, Louisiana and versicolour thrive in ponds and on marginal shelves, providing shade and shelter for wildlife such as frogs, dragonflies and pollinators. For boggy ground or filter beds around the pond, Iris sibirica is a perfect choice, adding texture and structure to the landscape. Irises are a must-have for creating a wildlife-friendly pond, offering both beauty and biodiversity.
