The Yellow Iris (Iris pseudacorus), also known as the Yellow Flag, is a tall ( 100cm )vibrant, native UK pond plant that thrives in wetlands, pond edges, and shallow waters. This perennial plant is well-loved for its bright yellow flowers, which bloom from late spring to early summer. Yellow Iris supports biodiversity by providing habitat and food for various insects, including pollinators like bees and butterflies. The dense root system also helps stabilize pond edges and reduce erosion, Its roots are effective at absorbing excess nutrients, which helps in reducing water pollution by filtering out toxins and preventing algal blooms.
