Iris ensata 'Activity'

Iris ensata 'Activity', commonly known as Japanese iris, is a clump-forming perennial with upright, sword-shaped green leaves that form a neat, architectural mound. In early to mid-summer, it produces large, flat, showy violet-blue flowers with intricate markings, creating a bold and dramatic display in borders or near water features.

The flowers attract bees and other pollinators, giving the plant ecological value. Its upright, moisture-loving habit makes it ideal for pond edges, damp borders, and naturalistic plantings where strong summer colour and structure are desired.
