How to Grow and Care for Yellow flag

Yellow flag, also known as Water flag, Paleyellow iris, Dragon flower

Yellow flag is a robust and low-maintenance perennial suited to moist environments. Key care points include ensuring ample water, as yellow flag thrives in wet conditions, often found naturally along water margins. Adequate sunlight is also essential, with yellow flag preferring full sun to partial shade to promote vigorous growth and blooming. While yellow flag requires minimal special attention once established, controlling its spread is important, considering its aggressive growth habit in ideal conditions.

Yellow flag displays an array of vibrant yellow flowers reaching heights of 1-2 feet (30-60 cm) above the deep green blade-like leaves that stretch to 3-4 feet (90-120 cm). The foliage, prominent in wetland habitats, forms a striking upright clump as a perennial bulb. These features emerge in late spring, presenting a contrastingly bright display against its soft, marshy surroundings. The visual allure is characterized by the long, sword-shaped leaves, and the flowers' golden hues, each petal adorned with delicate veining.
