Bog Plants~ Water Irises
My favorite spring pond plant is the water iris. Their blooms are so delicate, and they’re just as beautiful as their larger Siberian iris relative in my garden.
They’re actually more of a bog plant than a pond plant. They like to grow right on the water’s edge, getting their feet wet while they keep their tops dry.
Water irises aren’t hard to grow, and they come in a variety of colors. Just plant them at the edge of your pond, or in a boggy wet area and watch them take off.
