The first tetraploid cultivar. Bright violet-blue 5"+ blooms. Signals are yellow fanning to white with maroon edging at the base; blue veins down the falls. Sweet and simple, an elegant companion to the other two Siberian irises we are offering. Z3. Maine Grown. NEW! (bare-root crowns)
In late June, delicate flowers dance above tall slender slate-green foliage that looks good all summer. Tolerates most conditions, but performs best in rich moist acid soil.
Plant 18" apart in full sun or partial shade. Give them room to spread, and divide clumps every few years.
When you receive your order, open the bags and check the stock immediately. Roots and crowns should be firm and pliable. Surface mold is harmless and will not affect the plant’s future performance. Store plants in their packaging in a cool (35–40°) location until you are ready to plant. If it’s going to be awhile, you can pot up your perennials.
Do not plant bare-root perennial plant crowns directly outdoors before danger of frost has passed. Wet and/or cold conditions for an extended period may cause rotting.
