My water irises have gone to seed, so I’m offering a dozen seeds per person.
Offers prioritised to people living within a 1 mile radius of me.

Spread: 1m
Hardy
Ideal for wildlife gardens
Happy in semi shade; prefers full sun
Needs Boggy / Clay / Heavy / Moist
Yellow flag are beautiful but can take over a small pond, so although you can just scatter a few seeds into pond they might be best planted in a pond pot to keep them under control. Or plant the seeds in the boggy margins.
If they starts taking over, divide rhizomes every 3 years or so and Freegle the spares :-)
If you don’t have a wildlife pond it is incredibly easy and very rewarding. The wildlife will soon move in.
