Siberian
Iris


Iris sibirica


Description:

This beardless Iris is very easy to grow and looks great throughout the gardening season.   These plants are very hardy, easy to grow, and increase readily.  Average flower size is 3-4" in diameter and they appear in early summer.  The sword-like leaves are bright green and remain erect for a long time.  While they grow in full sun in average garden soil, they do prefer a moist but not soggy location.  These do not require the frequent division that bearded Iris need, but division every few years is a good idea.

Botanical Name: Iris sibirica
Type: Perennial
Soil Preference: Well-drained; wet
Light Requirements: Full sun, partial sun, partial shade
Attributes: Siberian Iris adapt well in the garden, but need plenty of water. Their graceful foliage is attractive all year.
