Iris pseudacorus – Lily of the Kings! - A most interesting and striking plant for small ponds or hard to grow wet areas. It is an iris of wet places, usually growing in shallow water in a marsh or at the edge of a stream or pond. The heavy grass like blades of this Lily of the Kings grows from 4 to 6 foot in height. Also called Yellow flag, it is probably the model for the "Lily of France" emblem of the French kings, in use since the 12th century. It thrives in shallow water and many gardeners plant yellow flag in a container of rich potting soil placed directly in the garden pond. The cut flowers last well and the dried fruit capsules are very attractive in arrangements. This is truly a multi-task plant.

Not to be confused with those sold as bare root rhizomes of lesser size or quality. Greenwood’s Lily of the Kings is sold in multiples of 1 or 3 plants per order. Large One-Gallon containers
