Siberian
Iris
Iris sibirica
Siberian iris grows to about 2-3 feet and blooms in May and June.
Siberian iris is native to moist bog soils and so it prefers sun
to partial sun sites that are fertile and evenly moist. It will
tolerate poor, dry sites but growth will not be as good. Siberian
iris prefers to be left undisturbed and is less susceptible to
soft
rot and iris borer than bearded iris. Cultivars to look for include
'Caesar's Brother', 'Little White' and 'Sea Shadows'.
