Iris louisiana, commonly known as Louisiana iris 'Ann Chowning', is a clump-forming perennial with sword-shaped green leaves forming upright, dense foliage. In late spring to early summer, it produces large, flat flowers in rich purple shades with subtle yellow markings, creating a dramatic and elegant display along pond edges and in shallow water.
This cultivar is valuable for pollinators such as bees and butterflies and adds architectural and floral interest to wetland planting schemes. Its upright, clump-forming habit and tolerance of consistently moist or shallowly submerged soil make it ideal for pond margins, bog gardens, and water features.
