I've always grown mine in a bog garden - ie. water saturated soil. I'm
wondering if it is possible to grow them as a marginal - ie. the rhizome
is underwater.....I know it is a dumb question but I'm trying to formulate
ideas for this ever evolving pond project

Hi Jan,

I have variegated Japanese Iris in a pot in the pond. The water comes about
half way up the pot. I've tried submerging them though.
