Growing & Maintenance Tips for Iris versicolor

Iris versicolor grows best in moist to wet, soil conditions, in full sun or partial shade. Great for ponds, streams, and marshy areas. Vigorous, naturalizing iris once established, spreading by self-seeding or extension of its rhizomes. Although it thrives with its roots submerged, Iris versicolor will adapt to average or slightly dry conditions.
