Yellow Iris
The Sumpf schwertlilie, also called Yellow Iris or Iris Pseudacorus, provides a clear, clean pond; this aquatic plant acts as a natural filter and treats you each season with striking yellow flowers that brighten up any pond.
For Sumpfpflanzen , I recommend a minimum of one basket (4 plants) and a maximum of 4 baskets (16 plants) per m³ (1000 gallons of water). The amount needed depends on how quickly you want the pond to balance and your visual requirements.
