Neomarica longifolia, Trimezia longifolia - yellow walking iris, hand of god
APPEARANCE : Grassy clumping green plant from Central and South America with tall straight flower stems in summer. Golden yellow flowers of three large petals are patterned in the centre with brown. Produces new plants from the tips of old flowering stems - so it 'walks' itself to new locations.
USE FOR : Borders and edging, pots and containers.
CLIMATE : It likes a frost-free, humid climate like in its native home.
PLANTING : Plant in free-draining acid soil in shade or dappled shade.
CARE: Mulch after planting, ideally with generous amounts of leafmould, to retain moisture and regulate soil temperatures as the young plant establishes. Water regularly. Snip off flowerstems after flowering if you don't want the plant to 'walk'. Feed in spring with fertiliser for native plants, as in the wild it grows in impoverished leaf-litter soils low in nutrients.
HEIGHT: around 50cm
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
You can see an example in the image gallery.
