Pink lis

The Pink Lis, known as Iris Laevigata 'Pink Pons', is a beautiful water-loving plant that is ideal for any garden lover who wants to enrich their garden with a touch of pastel color. This variety stands out for its delicate, soft pink flowers, which put on a spectacular show at the edges of ponds and water features each spring.

For best growing results, the Pink Lis needs a spot with plenty of sunlight, although it can also thrive in partial shade. This iris variety needs consistently moist, well-drained soil to thrive. Maintaining regular watering is crucial, especially during hot or dry seasons, to maintain ideal growing conditions.

The flowering period of the Pink Lis occurs from late spring to early summer. Regular removal of wilted flowers is essential to promote energy for further flowering and to maintain the overall health of the plant. Remember to fertilize the plant after flowering to promote vigor and longevity.

The Iris Laevigata Pink Pons is distinguished by its unique pink flowers that bloom from May to July. This plant grows to about 60-80 cm tall and is perfect for shallow water or marsh zones. It thrives best in full sun or light shade.

Key features:

• Soft pink flowers with a delicate appearance.
• Ideal for marsh zones or shallow water (5-15 cm depth).
• Hardy and low maintenance.

The Pink Lis is not only a visual addition to your pond, but also helps keep the water healthy and clear. With its strong roots, it absorbs excess nutrients, reducing duckweed and algae formation.

Benefits of the Pink Lis:

• Helps keep the pond balanced through water purification.
• Creates a soothing, natural look.
• Attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
• Provides shade and shelter for fish and other aquatic animals.

Planting the Iris Laevigata Pink Pons is simple and provides years of enjoyment. Follow these steps:

1. Choose a sunny or semi-shaded spot at the edge of the pond or in the marsh area.
2. Use a pond basket filled with pond soil and cover with gravel to prevent leaching.
3. Place the basket in shallow water (max. 15 cm deep) or in moist soil along the pond edge.
4. Make sure the plant has enough room to develop.

The Pink Lis comes into its own beautifully when combined with other pond plants that offer both color and ecological benefits. For example, consider:

• flowering rush (Butomus umbellatus): for soft pink accents in a different form.
• White Lis (Iris Kaempferi White): for a contrasting, serene look.
• great reedmace (Typha minima): for a playful green addition.
