| It depends how wet you mean by wet. Siberian iris prefers a soil that is evenly moist but will tolerate average soil moisture in the garden, too. It is not the most water tolerant of the iris. Here is an example. http://www.mobot.org/gardening... If you have a wetter soil with say some spring flooding you could try Japanese iris (Iris ensata) instead as it needs a wetter spot -- although it should not be under water during the winter. It needs damper soil than an average garden situation or it will not grow well. http://www.mobot.org/gardening... If you have a truly boggy situation or standing water you could try the yellow water iris, Iris pseudacorus, which likes that much moisture and is often sold for water gardening. I hope this helps. |
