Iris 'Ann Chowning'
water iris (syn Iris louisiana Ann Chowning)
A beautiful, moisture-loving iris that can be planted at the edges of a pond, where its upright strap-shaped foliage will offset that visual impact of the flat expanse of water. In early summer, 'Ann Chowning' produces sumptuously coloured red flowers with just a flash of yellow at the base of the falls.

This pond plant is semi-evergreen, so it can lose some of its foliage in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose it all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
