Iris Sibirica in my pond

I didn't realise they liked it wet!
Guess that mine'll come to nowt.....

This is one is new to me and is in 3-4ft deep. I have had yellow ones for some years but they are only in at the side a 1ft deep. When I buy them I get them from the aquatic centre where they are already in water perhaps this is the secret?
The instructions on this one said 2-3ft deep plus the depth of the 3 litre pot place in full sun.

looks very pretty - we haven't added anything as yet to pond

Hope so, as mine said nothing about being in water.....

They do very well in the garden with good drainage Meanie though its said they prefer non clay soil I find they grow well in my clay as well as the pond.

Meanie I just looked it up on the photo to the right of this page and it says:
'Position: full sun or partial shade
Soil: well-drained, moderately fertile, neutral to slightly acid soil
Rate of growth: average
Flowering period: May and June
Hardiness: fully hardy
Velvety, violet flowers with veined yellow throats appear in May and June among bright green, slender, strappy leaves. Like all Siberian flag irises, this is a clump forming plant that needs space to spread out and prefers a moist, neutral to slightly acid soil in sun or partial shade. It looks best planted in bold drift beside water and allowed to naturalise and is particularly useful on difficult banks where it will help to prevent erosion and over time will form large clumps.
It can also be planted in a pot as a marginal plant for a pond.Garden care: Plant in soil that has been improved with well-rotted manure or garden compost and do not allow to dry out, particularly as the plant is getting established. If planted in a container, it will need dividing and repotting every couple of years in spring.
