Siberian Iris
Iris sibirica
(EYE-ris) (sy-BEER-ah-kuh)
This Iris has been an amazing
performer. It just has been growing and growing and flowering through the
years. I didn’t plant the original patch but have since planted hundreds of divisions
at several different gardens. It’s getting to the point that I won’t be
dividing it anymore. Too much of good thing sometimes is a bad thing.
Siberian Iris is an easy and
rewarding garden perennial. This white is a little unusual (but not rare)
color. They are mostly in the blue and purple hues and I have seen a light pink
before. They grow nicely in boggy soil and at the edge of ponds but can also
colonize dry areas. They can also grow in partial shade but I have found that
they are not as vigorous in those conditions.
We are getting ready to leave
for Florida tomorrow. I have to decide which equipment to take. I will be
looking forward to seeing some flowers and getting outside a little more.
