Iris Pseudacorus x versicolor ‘Regal Surprise’ is a beautiful shallow water plant. Irises with their sword like leaves and colourful flowers are an asset in any pond and ‘Regal Surprise’ is particularly attractive. It is a hybrid between the Yellow flag iris, Iris Pseudacorus, and Iris Versicolor .
The flower has vibrant violet-purple with a yellow signal on the falls patterned with black and white styles and standard.
This marginal likes full sun and flowers in early summer
Height 0.5 – 1 metre (19 inches to 39 inches )
Can be planted with up to a depth of 15 cm ( 6 inches ) of water above the soil level.
We would recommend a planting basket of at least 11cm across for one plant or, for more impact, plant several of the same variety in a larger basket.
We ship all marginal water plants bare root, this means that we wash the soil off before packing plants. During the summer months we may need to trim some of the foliage back for shipping.
