Iris 'Berlin Tiger'
flag iris
The brown-veined yellow flowers of this water-loving iris will put on a beautiful show from midsummer, while the slender ridged foliage provides more enduring interest. Plant this is bold clumps or drifts on the margins of a pond where its distinctly upright habit will provide a fabulous contrast to the flat expanse of water, or find a spot in deep, reliably moist soil.
How to care for Iris Berlin Tiger:

These pots are made of a fine mesh, which allows water to circulate through the compost, providing the plants with both oxygen and nutrients.

To enhance flowering divide congested clumps every three to five years.
