Iris ensata 'Kogesho'

Iris ensata ‘Kogesho’ (Japanese Iris)

A striking Japanese iris producing enormous white flowers delicately brushed with a soft purple blush and accented by a bright yellow center. The broad, flat blooms create an elegant, dramatic display in early summer.

Tall stems rise above upright, sword-like foliage, adding structure and height to moist garden areas.

Best suited for consistently moist soil, this variety performs beautifully near ponds, water features, or in well-watered borders, where its large blooms can be fully appreciated.

Japanese irises are valued for their refined flowers and strong vertical presence, bringing a calm, graceful feel to the landscape.
