This new Siberian is super-beautiful, especially when viewed from above. Each classically colored petal is finely edged in silver, giving the Siberian iris a whole new look of refinement. An exquisite hybrid, with more appeal than any of the older blue ones.Siberian Irises are the ones that form an elegant clump of tall deep green grass-like leaves, with flowers on long stems that open above the foliage. With flowers somewhat smaller than the huge Bearded Iris, these are the ones that are the easiest to grow and surely the most hardy. Clumps return dependably each year with more and more flowers. Great landscape plants.
