Iris louisiana 'Kimboshi'

Spring · Outdoors

Feed with aquatic plant food

As the plant is grown in water, feed with an aquatic feed as directed on the packet. Do not exceed the amounts given as this can affect the water.

Spring-Autumn · Outdoors

Water frequently to keep the soil moist

The plant thrives in moist or boggy soil, doesn't tolerate dryness and should be watered frequently, not only after a period of drought, but if the soil begins to dry out spring to autumn. Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.

Compost for aquatic plants

Use aquatic plant compost for pond plants (other composts contain nitrates that cause problems in ponds). Pond plants are generally planted in baskets and weighted to keep in position.
