Japanese iris Iris ensata Variegata is a strikingly beautiful plant with creamy white-green, vertically striped, narrow leaves. At the end of spring, attractive smaller flowers appear on each bunch, with a dark purple to reddish sheen. Like waterfalls, their petals flow down. This iris will be happy in all but the driest garden soils. If you want to make your garden more attractive, this is the right choice!
How to grow Japanese iris
Iris ensata is a full-sun iris growing naturally in open wet fields in eastern Asia. Iris ensata has a vertical growth habit like most other iris species. Its large flowers come in different shades of blue. It needs to be grown in an acid humus-rich soil, with regular watering between early March and the end of July. Iris ensata can be planted in a sunny place in the garden, at the banks of a pond or slow flowing streams, or in wet places that are not flooded during the winter. It may prove necessary to cover the young plants through the first winter (with mulch, straw or bark shavings etc.) especially in the case of late planting.
