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
==================
Bearded iris wont tolerate wet soils but the water loving Louisiana iris
will thrive.

What about Japanese Iris? ~ jan
================================
The ones I have that are called Japanese iris do well in both the general
flower beds and in the ponds. But the woman who gave them to me wasn't sure
that they really were JI's. She bought them on sale at Home Depot years
ago. To me they look like smaller, shorter Louisiana iris. I have blue and
red ones.
