Description

Iris ensata ‘Light and Dawn’ is a striking Japanese iris that enchants with its luminous white blooms delicately edged in lavender. The large, ruffled flowers are highlighted with soft veining and golden accents at the throat, offering a refined and serene addition to any garden. Ideal for pond edges, rain gardens, or moist borders, this iris thrives in wetter soils, creating a calm and sophisticated focal point in naturalistic or formal garden designs.

Reaching up to 90–120 cm in height, ‘Light and Dawn’ showcases upright, sword-like green foliage that adds vertical interest even when not in bloom. Flowering in early to mid-summer, this variety creates a long-lasting display that attracts pollinators while requiring minimal care. Its ability to thrive in consistently moist conditions makes it an excellent choice for water gardens and areas with poor drainage, combining beauty with practicality.

Key Features

  • Height and Spread: Grows to 90–120 cm tall and spreads 40–60 cm.
  • Foliage: Elegant, sword-shaped green leaves that provide year-round texture.
  • Blooming Period: Early to mid-summer, with large, ruffled white blooms edged in lavender.
  • Adaptability: Thrives in consistently moist to wet soils and prefers full sun to partial shade.
  • Notable Traits: Perfect for water gardens, moist borders, and rain gardens; highly ornamental and easy to maintain.

Planting and Care Tips

  • Plant rhizomes just below the soil surface in nutrient-rich, moist conditions.
  • Space plants 30–45 cm apart for healthy growth and air circulation.
  • Position in full sun to partial shade for optimal flowering.
  • Keep soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season, to encourage lush blooms.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to prolong the flowering season and maintain tidiness.
  • Divide clumps every 3–4 years in late summer to prevent overcrowding and promote vigour.

Planting information

- Depth is measurement of space between the soil line and top of bulb or bare root.

- Set the bulbs or bare root in place, pointed side or sprout side upward.
