Overview
Yellow Flag Iris is a perennial aquatic/marsh herbaceous plant, renowned for its bright yellow flowers and tall, sword-shaped foliage. It blooms from May to June, producing large, showy flowers that resemble swallows dancing in flight, offering exceptional ornamental appeal. The fruiting period follows in July to August, with prominent seed capsules adding seasonal interest.

In its natural habitat, it grows in moist environments such as grassy slopes, woodland edges, and wet areas along rivers and ditches.
