{"product_id":"iris-ensata-marginal-pond-plant","title":"Iris ensata Marginal Pond Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eA flowering marginal iris for the pond edge, supplied already growing in its mesh aquatic basket so it can go straight onto the shelf or margin. Choosing between the 1 litre and 3 litre sizes, you get an established plant that settles in without repotting and helps fill out the planted edge of the pond through the flowering season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIris ensata is a marginal pond iris supplied ready-grown in its own mesh aquatic basket, so it goes straight onto a pond shelf or margin without any repotting on arrival. It suits sites that get full sun through to part shade, and it helps bring height, leaf texture and summer colour to the planted edge of a pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat you get: one Iris ensata plant, already potted in its mesh aquatic basket, in either the 1 litre or 3 litre size. The basket stays on the plant in both cases, keeping the root system and compost contained once it's in the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the 1 litre plant, start it no deeper than half of the maximum recommended planting depth so it can establish before you lower it further; a bigger basket isn't necessary but will suit it if you have one spare. The 3 litre plant goes straight onto the shelf of the pond at its intended depth. If a plant grows past 60cm, it benefits from a larger mesh basket, or planting into gravel, to stop it toppling in windy conditions; a larger basket isn't included and would need buying separately if you need one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce the foliage has died back in autumn, cut it back to just above the water surface. Leave trimming until spring if you prefer, but take care not to damage the new shoots as they come through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSun\/Shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun to part shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJun \u0026amp; Jul\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePurple \/ Mixed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAfter foliage has died back in autumn, cut back to just above the water surface.
