Siberian
Iris (Iris Sibirca) are a most outstanding, maintenance-free species of
plants. These graceful, but rugged plants bloom in late spring and
maintain their beautiful grass-like foliage all season. After bloom, the
mature seed pod and stem are excellent in dried arrangements. They prefer
sun to part shade in evenly moist acidic soil. Not enough good can be said
about Siberian Iris. They are rugged, vigorous, smothered with bloom. Not
fussy about soil, they take a wide range of conditions, quickly forming
large clumps. Resistant to iris bores and drought tolerant once
established. Give them plenty of water until established. They love mulch,
just like daylilies. This very hardy iris grows in zones 3-9.
