Description
Here's the new Siberian Iris that puts all the others to shame. Roanoke's Choice is a whole new look in color and form.
The basic color scheme is pastel lilac with yellow flashes near the center, and purple flares extending into the petals. The flowers are large, and freely-blooming. This is a great new plant that combines the easy-grow and heavy blooming qualities of the Siberians with the intricate beauty of other irises.
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.
