Iris laevigata 'Snowdrift'
Japanese water iris
‘Snowdrift’ is a clump-forming Japanese water iris bearing delightful, white flowers with a narrow pale lilac throat, which rise from broad, strap-like leaves from May to July. Enjoying a slightly acidic soil enriched with well-rotted organic matter, it is happiest in damp soils, making it ideal for drifts around the margins of ponds, lakes, streams and bog-gardens with other moisture-loving plants such as primulas, ferns, and forget-me-nots.
How to care for Iris laevigata Snowdrift:
Plant Japanese water iris (Iris laevigata) in moist, fertile soil at the edge of a pond or in a boggy area, with the rhizomes just at or slightly below the soil surface. Space plants about 45-60cm (18-24in) apart to allow room for growth, water well after planting, and keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season.
Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring and remove old foliage in late winter to encourage healthy new growth and abundant flowering.
