Iris laevigata 'Royal Cartwheel'

Iris laevigata 'Royal Cartwheel', commonly known as Royal Cartwheel iris, is a marginal aquatic perennial with upright, sword-shaped green leaves forming dense clumps. In late spring it produces large, deep royal blue-violet flowers with a bold white central stripe, creating a dramatic, star-like display along pond edges and in shallow water.

This cultivar supports pollinators such as bees and butterflies and adds ecological value to damp garden habitats. Its clump-forming habit and tolerance of consistently moist or shallowly submerged soil make it ideal for pond margins, bog gardens, and naturalistic water features.
