Iris sibirica

30–34" tall. Mid to late season blooms.

Resembles a refined version of a German bearded iris with eye-catching 5½" vibrant violet blossoms, heavily ruffled upright standards and wide-spreading ruffled falls with an icy-lemon blaze. Long bloom time, extended vase life, unusual ruffled form and strong saturated color set this Siberian beauty apart from all the rest. 

Bred by Dean Cole of Gorham, Maine. Cole worked with the well-known Siberian Iris hybridizer Currier McEwan who brought many Maine-bred irises to market. Introduced in 2006. Zone 3.

Additional Information

Iris

Iris is the name of the Greek goddess of the Rainbow and of this large genus of beautiful flowers in a range of sizes and a rainbow of colors. Growing from bulbs or fleshy rhizomatous roots, irises are superb for cutting and borders. For all iris, “standards” are the three erect petals; “falls” are the three pendent, reflexed or spreading petals. The blaze of contrasting color is the “crest,” “blotch” or “signal.” Most irises prefer sun or dappled shade with moderately fertile well-drained soil. All bulbous irises we stock prefer dry soils when dormant in summer.

Siberian Iris

In late June, delicate flowers dance above tall slender slate-green foliage that looks good all summer. Tolerates most conditions, but performs best in rich moist acid soil.

Plant 18" apart in full sun or partial shade. Give them room to spread, and divide clumps every few years.

Herbaceous Perennial Plants

When you receive your order, open the bags and check the stock immediately. Roots and crowns should be firm and pliable. Surface mold is harmless and will not affect the plant’s future performance. Store plants in their packaging in a cool (35–40°) location until you are ready to plant. If it’s going to be awhile, you can pot up your perennials.

Do not plant bare-root perennial plant crowns directly outdoors before danger of frost has passed. Wet and/or cold conditions for an extended period may cause rotting.
