Pastel-perfect Iris ensata 'Cupcake' is certainly a sweet summer treat for the eyes! The generous white blooms feature a mouth-watering array of candy colours, including lemon yellow flashes and delicate violet veining. From the Dinnerplate Series, these unmissable blooms can grow up to 15cm across, and you can be sure the bees and butterflies will appreciate this delightful confection too. It’s best to position the pretty Iris ensata 'Cupcake' in full sun for the biggest and best blooms, but it will grow quite happily in partial shade too. 

Iris ensata are much prized as marginal plants, preferring a soil which is continually moist, and somewhat boggy. A special variety like Iris ensata 'Cupcake' will be a real jewel in damp borders, pond or stream edges. The sword-shaped foliage will die back in autumn and can be trimmed to just above ground level for a neat and tidy display. This perennial is fully hardy and will grow back every year, eventually multiplying and treating you to more of those gorgeous blooms.
