Iris ensata 'Variegata' is a Japanese iris with silvery-white variegated foliage that retains its unique coloration throughout the season. In early to mid-summer, rich dark purple flowers with a reddish sheen and a bright golden yellow eye emerge, creating a dramatic contrast against the foliage. This moisture-loving perennial thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers humus-rich, medium to wet, acidic soils. Ideal for water gardens, pond edges and moist borders.

Soil: Moist, acidic, loamy soil with a pH of 5.5–6.5. Avoid compacted or alkaline soils—amend with compost or peat moss if needed.

Fertilization: Apply a high-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring and again just after flowering. Avoid feeding new transplants.
Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and yellowing foliage. Cut back to the ground in late fall or early spring.
