{"product_id":"iris-versicolor-marginal-pond-plant","title":"Iris versicolor Marginal Pond Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eSuitable for planting in the margins or on the shallow shelves of a garden pond, Iris versicolor offers narrow, upright foliage and branched stems of bluish-purple flowers with a distinctive spotted yellow throat through June and July. It's supplied as a single plant already growing in its mesh aquatic basket, so it goes straight into the water without repotting. Choose from 1 litre and 3 litre basket sizes depending on how established a plant you want to start with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIris versicolor is a marginal pond plant with narrow, erect foliage and branched stems that each carry several bluish-purple flowers, with a spotted yellow throat marking the centre of each bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits the margins and shallow shelves of a garden pond, growing best in a position with full sun to part shade, and flowers during June and July. The plant helps bring colour and height to the pond edge through that period, with blooms held above the foliage on branching stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive one plant, already growing in its mesh aquatic basket at the size you choose: 1 litre or 3 litre. Neither size needs repotting on arrival, and there's no need to remove the basket before placing the plant in the pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowth is slow, which means less frequent dividing or cutting back compared with more vigorous marginals. Expect the plant to reach 60 to 90cm in height once established, with a recommended planting depth of 0 to 15cm.\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\u003eJune and July\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCut back to just above the water surface once foliage has died back in autumn.
