Iris ensata Satozakura Southwest Garden Plants commonly grown for fruit inIris 'Satozakura' is a superb selection of Japanese iris, introduced by Japan's Kamo Nursery in 1993. This vigorous selection is topped with masses of huge, soft pink flowers atop 40" tall stalks, starting for us in mid to late May. As with all Japanese iris, it can be grown as a marginal aquatic or in regular garden soil as long as it doesn't stay dry for extended periods. Watch our Plant Spotlight video for more information.
