CENTER OF ATTENTION JAPANESE IRIS

Iris ensata 'Center of Attention' is a true standout in the early summer garden, known for producing some of the largest flowers of all iris species. It features massive, dinner-plate-sized blooms with a distinctively flattened, beardless form. The flowers are a captivating shade of violet-blue, decorated with deep purple veining and striking yellow signals at the center of each ruffled petal. Reaching up to 36 inches tall, its elegant, sword-like green foliage provides a sturdy, vertical backdrop that maintains its architectural interest long after the mid-summer bloom cycle has finished.

For 'Center of Attention', the ideal spot is a location in full sun to ensure the most prolific flowering, though it can handle partial shade in hotter climates. It thrives in rich, acidic, and consistently moist soil, making it a perfect choice for the edges of ponds, streams, or rain gardens. Unlike many other irises, 'Center of Attention' can even handle standing water during the active growing season.
