Iris
These plants are right at home in water, bog or ponds. Among the most popular water plants, these irises are valued for their elegant beauty and simple, uncluttered form. With their clean, vertical lines and striking sword-shaped foliage, they’re attractive even when not in bloom. Iris come in an array of colours and hues and are versatile perennials that will grow in or out of the water.
