🌿 Full Description:
Walking Iris (Neomarica northiana) is a hardy and visually striking plant, supplied bare rooted, ideal for a wide range of aquatic and semi-aquatic setups.
This plant is not suited for full submersion, but thrives when grown emersed with its roots in water, making it perfect for:
- 🏞️ Pond edges and marginal zones
- 🌿 Paludariums and ripariums
- 💧 Emersed aquarium setups
- 🪴 Moist or marshy garden areas
Walking Iris gets its name from its unique growth habit — it produces plantlets on long stems (runners), which eventually bend down and root, creating new plants.
Under the right conditions, it will also produce beautiful iris-like flowers, adding a standout feature to your setup.
