Description:
Iris pseudacorus, also known as the yellow flag iris, is a medium-sized plant with bright yellow flowers and long, sword-like leaves. Native to Europe, western Asia, and northwest Africa, it thrives in both dry land and standing water, making it versatile for various garden settings. This iris is important for wildlife, providing habitat for endangered species like the corncrake in western Scotland. However, it can be invasive outside its native range. The plant is used in water treatment for nutrient uptake and can tolerate high salinity levels. Its petals and stem are toxic, so caution is advised when handling.
