Plant description
With striking violet-blue blooms edged in gold, Iris 'Golden Edge' adds a vibrant touch to any garden spot with reliable soil moisture. This mid-sized Siberian iris thrives in moist to damp conditions, making it ideal for bog gardens, pond edges, or sunny borders. Its sturdy, clump-forming grassy foliage supports butterfly-like flowers with yellow throats, offering a stunning late spring display. Highly adaptable, it’s perfect for use in tubs or mixed containers, and is resistant to common pests like Iris Borer.

How to care for Iris Golden Edge:
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 grown in a container, it will need dividing and repotting every couple of years in spring.
Remove the stems after flowering from the base as this will concentrate the plant's energy into producing new rhizomes. Divide and replant about every three years.

Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
