rdly over 6 inches in height flowering 
them are being used in prominent 
PSEUDACORUS. 36 to 48 inches. This is 
a particularly valuable species for several 
reasons. First, it is a rich yellow color, 
which color is entirely lacking in Siberian 
Iris and it is especially attractive mixed 
with the Siberians. Second, it will grow 
in marsh or swampy land, even with 2 or 
3 inches of water over it, and makes a 
pretty picture in shallow water or along 
the water’s edge. Third, it is excellent 
for naturalizing, as it will take care of 
itself in the most rugged surroundings, 
self-sowing and perpetuating itself. It is 
an English species. It will also grow in 
dry soil.
