Yellow iris

Product number: 592580
Origin: Europe
Latin: IRIS pseudacorus

Anyone with a soft spot for the Dutch ditch-side cannot ignore this incredibly strong indigenous beauty. Not a delicate hothouse flower, but a true survivor whose powerful rhizomes can make even the murkiest pond crystal clear again. A "bog filter" in person! From May onwards, its sturdy, sword-shaped leaves shoot up to 120 cm high, followed by radiant yellow flowers with delicate brown veins. Mother Nature at her best! An absolute magnet for bumblebees and the ideal hiding place for frogs among the dense clumps. An indispensable powerhouse for any natural pond that could use a boost. 80-120cm high.

Sowing method: Sowing: year-round in a seed tray, first give 2-4 weeks of warmth (18-22°C), then a cold period in the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, then slowly warm up to room temperature, after which germination will follow. The seeds germinate irregularly over a longer germination period. So, do not discard the seed tray too quickly. Sowing directly in the garden is also possible; simply let it overwinter, and germination will occur in spring. Keep well-moistened.
