Loam soils, enriched with organic matter and mulched, are ideal. Siberian Iris perform well in sun and light shade. Siberian Iris can be planted in early spring or fall. However, we recommend spring shipments only, to our customers in the northern tier of states. Since our New England climate does not allow us to dig much earlier than mid-April, we recommend fall planting for most warmer climates.
Northern gardeners can also plant in the fall.
We will ship plants to you in early September so that they will have two to three months to become fully established before winter. Winner of the Dykes Medal in England. This beauty opens as a pink bitone, turning to lavender-rose with pale pink standards. White flaring standards. Long blooming, clear dark blue.
