Louisiana irises just love wet feet. I have mine growing beside a stream and others sitting in dishes of water.

I have mine growing beside a stream and others sitting in dishes of water.
This iris is potted, and is in flower at the moment. The other rhizome has a flower bud on it ready to open soon and I'm not sure whether it is the same maroon colour or another colour. Surprise?
This iris is called 'Perfect Match'. Deep mauve with goldy centre radiating onto each petal. A large bloom the size of your hand.
Louisiana irises open out flat like a plate unlike the bearded irises which have a round form.
$14.50 with the pot.
Thanks for looking.

This little iris hugs the ground. I've kept mine in a big pot where it is very happy. It grows less than a hand width high.
You will have at least three little rhizomes to plant. They will be bare rooted.

All five for $35.00
This iris has been potted up since last season so there is quite a number of rhizomes in it. It had two lovely flower stalks which have just finished.
It will enjoy being able to stretch its legs once in the ground.
Name: Irwell Ace. A NZ bred iris, bred by the late Ron Busch.

Hi Neighbours, long shot here:
I’m short on ceiling insulation to finish a construction job (total maths fail… 🤦♀️). I’m after 5 bags of Mammoth ceiling insulation panels if you have any leftovers in the shed?
Happy to pay cash and collect…

They are easy care, don't mind being frosted one bit, and love to sunbathe their rhizomes on top of the soil which anchor themselves firm roots.
Picture left to right are 'Carl and Sissy', 'Floral Act', 'Tink' ,'Silverado' ' Irwell Ace'.
Thanks for looking.
The plants will be bare rooted .
