Japanese Water Irisknown as variegated Japanese iris, is a lovely and elegant moderately slow-growing perennial with beautiful flowers and striking foliage. Very easy to grow and care for. The dark purple flowers are held on white stems above the leaves in early summer. The long narrow foliage shows pure white and mint-green from the time it emerges from the ground in early spring until it dies down in autumn. Best in ponds or boggy location.

A seed starting soil mix is designed to give seeds everything they need to start growing. They are typically finer and lighter than regular soil mixes. This mix should contain ingredients such as compost, perlite, vermiculite, and peat moss.
