Iris ensata 'Gracieuse', commonly known as Japanese iris, is a clump-forming perennial with upright, sword-shaped green leaves forming a neat, architectural mound. In early to mid-summer, it produces large, flat, showy flowers in soft pink-lavender shades with subtle markings, creating an elegant and decorative display in borders or near water features.
The flowers attract bees and other pollinators, giving the plant ecological value. Its upright, moisture-loving habit makes it ideal for pond edges, damp borders, and naturalistic plantings where delicate summer colour and structural interest are desired.
