Frequently Asked Questions

Pond Advice

Black Lis, or Iris 'Black Gamecock,' thrives best in full sun to partial shade. This plant is particularly suited to wet environments such as pond edges and wetlands. The soil should be well-drained but consistently moist to keep the plant healthy.

Because black Lis grows naturally in moist areas, it is important to keep the soil moist on a regular basis. In summer or during drier periods, it may be necessary to water daily, depending on the temperature and humidity of the environment.

To support Black Lis during its flowering period, which is usually around early summer, it is important to keep the soil moist and remove spent flowers. This encourages new growth and prevents the plant from wasting energy on seed formation.

Yes, Iris 'Black Gamecock' is fairly hardy and can withstand winter conditions well in many climates. However, it is advisable in areas with very cold winters to protect the roots with a layer of mulch to prevent them from freezing.

Yes, the Black Lis can be successfully grown in a large pot grown, as long as adequate moisture and well-drained potting soil are provided. Also, make sure the pot is large enough to accommodate the vigorous roots and place the pot in a spot where the plant can receive partial to full sun.

All about the Black Lis (Iris Black Gamecock)

The Black Lis, known as Iris 'Black Gamecock,' is a fascinating addition to any garden, especially those with water features or moist soil. This remarkable iris variety stands out for its deep purple-black flowers, which have an almost mysterious appearance. Its striking color and large, lush flowers make the Black Lis a favorite among gardeners looking for something unique for their garden landscape.

Ideal Pitch and Care

For optimal growth, the Black Lis needs a spot where it receives full sun to partial shade. Although the plant prefers moist, well-drained soil, it is surprisingly adaptable and can survive in less than ideal conditions, as long as the roots are not in water-saturated soil. Regular watering is essential, especially during the growing season and dry periods, to keep the plant healthy and thriving.

Flowering and pruning

The flowering period of the Black Lis usually begins in early summer. The plant produces beautiful large flowers that are at their best when old, spent flowers are regularly removed. This not only keeps the plant looking neat, but also encourages new blooms. After flowering, it is advisable to prune the plant back to conserve energy for the next growing season.
