Iris sibirica. (Siberian Iris)
Iris are a wonderful striking flower that come in many forms. This is a very hardy and reliable cultivar that comes back year after year each one better than the last.
Summer flowering.
Grow to around 70cm tall. Can be split when dormant in autumn/winter to increase your plantings or left to produce a gorgeous swathe.
As with all herbaceous perennials the appearance of the plant will vary depending on the time or year and its natural phase of growth.
Shipped in a 9cm pot.
Upon arrival unpack and water place in a cool semi shady spot to allow to recover from shipping. After a day or two these can be planted out. Dig a hole the size of the pot and fill with water. Sprinkle a handful of slow release food granules into the hole (this is optional but will give the plants an added boost and can be purchased with your order) soak the plant pot and remove the whole plant and its soil in one place directly into the hole back firm and firm in well to ensure their are no air pockets. Water in. Should the weather be hot during planting further watering may be necessary. Otherwise simply enjoy and trim back old flowers head once they have gone over.
