Iris versicolor 'Dark Aura'

Iris versicolor, commonly known as blue flag iris 'Dark Aura', is a clump-forming perennial with sword-shaped green leaves forming upright, dense foliage. In late spring to early summer it produces large, dramatic flowers in deep violet-blue shades with subtle darker veining and yellow accents, creating a striking display along pond margins and in shallow water.

This cultivar is valued for its bold colour and architectural presence, adding both visual impact and support for wetland biodiversity. Its upright, rhizomatous habit and preference for consistently moist or shallowly submerged soil make it ideal for pond edges, bog gardens, and naturalistic water features.
