Blue Flag Iris seasonal highlights — a year in review

I've been growing Blue Flag Iris for a full year now and want to capture what each season offered. overwintering dormancy in the pond bed was the clear high point — everything you're told about Blue Flag Iris at that time of year is true. But the plant has something to offer in every season, which I hadn't expected.

natural filtration improving water clarity and quality is consistent throughout the year, which is one of its real strengths. I've settled on a half-barrel water garden for a small patio as the ideal position. dividing overcrowded plants every two or three years in spring was the lesson I took into next year. overrunning the pond surface in productive warm summers is the only thing that interrupted the enjoyment. Otherwise: excellent.
