Overview

Yellow Flag Iris is a perennial aquatic/marsh herbaceous plant, renowned for its bright yellow flowers and tall, sword-shaped foliage. It blooms from May to June, producing large, showy flowers that resemble swallows dancing in flight, offering exceptional ornamental appeal. The fruiting period follows in July to August, with prominent seed capsules adding seasonal interest. The plant's sword-like green leaves remain elegant throughout the year, providing beauty both in and out of bloom. In its natural habitat, it grows in moist environments such as grassy slopes, woodland edges, and wet areas along rivers and ditches. In landscaping, it is often planted along pond margins, streams, and shallow water areas – especially when placed beside rocks by the water, it exudes graceful elegance and natural freshness.
