These seeds are for the variegated form, leaves are green and creamy-white.

Iris pseudacorus (yellow flag, yellow iris, water flag) is native to Europe, western Asia and northwest Africa.

It is an herbaceous flowering perennial plant, growing to 100-150 centimetres (39-59 in) (or a rare 2 metres (6 ft 7 in)) tall, with erect leaves up to 90 centimetres (35 in) long and 3 centimetres (1.2 in) broad. The flowers are bright yellow, 7-10 centimetres (2.8-3.9 in) across, with the typical iris form. Iris pseudacorus grows best in very wet conditions, and is often common in wetlands, where it tolerates submersion, low pH, and anoxic soils. While it is primarily an aquatic plant, the rhizomes can survive prolonged dry conditions.

The plant was rated in second place for per day nectar production per flower in a UK plants survey conducted by the AgriLand project which is supported by the UK Insect Pollinators Initiative. Large I. pseudacorus stands in western Scotland form a very important feeding and breeding habitat for the endangered corn crake.

This variegated cultivar has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Seeds are rare and very limited supply.

Type: Hardy perennial

Hardiness zones: 4-9

Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.

Seeds per packet: 3
