Iris louisiana 'Black Gamecock' (Marginal Aquatic)

Iris louisiana plants thrive in damp, acid or neutral soil in a sunny or semi-shaded position. These moisture loving Iris require a rich, fertile soil which has had plenty of well rotted organic matter added into the soil prior to planting. Grow Iris louisiana in moist, boggy soils or submerged in the shallow margins of ponds with the crown to a maximum depth of up to 20cm (8") below water level. Choose a position in sun or semi shade.

When grown in damp borders, Iris louisiana require reliably moist soil. Water if necessary during dry periods to prevent the soil from drying out. Overcrowded clumps of Iris plants can be divided in autumn after flowering. Mulch around the base of Iris louisiana in spring to help retain moisture at their roots. Iris that are grown in ponds may be cut back to just above the water surface in autumn.
