This Louisiana iris gives the pond margin pale, white summer flowers touched with soft yellow, and suits positions in full sun or part shade. Supplied already potted in its basket, it means less planting work since there's no need to repot before placing it on the shelf. You get one 3 litre potted plant, mesh basket included, ready to set at the required depth.
Iris louisiana 'Her Highness' is a marginal pond iris with snow-white flowers softened by a faint hint of yellow, rather than a flat, single-tone white. It suits pond keepers who want pale colour at the water's edge, grown in a sunny or part-shaded spot on the marginal shelf.
It helps bring colour to the pond margin without extra planting work, since it's supplied ready-potted in its mesh basket. You get one 3 litre potted plant, basket included, ready to lower onto the shelf at the right depth, no repotting needed.
Growth is medium-paced, so it settles into the margin without quickly outgrowing its spot. Once flowering finishes and the foliage dies back in autumn, trim back to just above the water surface; leave trimming until spring instead and take care not to damage the new shoots coming through.
The tubers are harmful if eaten, so keep that in mind when deciding where to place it in the pond. If you buy outside the main growing season, the plant may still be available but could arrive cut back rather than in full leaf.
