True to name, this Siberian Iris provides contrast to the garden. Dark purple standards and falls with light purple styles contrast sharply with a bright yellow center. Like most Siberian Irises the foliage is dense, light green and attractive all season long. A single clump of Siberian Iris plants in bloom is a beautiful sight, a group of them can be a show stopper. The thinner, shorter and more grass like foliage creates an opportunity for dense plantings than can't be achieved with the Tall Bearded Iris. Siberian Iris can do well from full sun to part shade and do well when soil is kept consistently moist. These elegant perennials work well in border gardens, cottage gardens and in a naturalized setting and a great compliment to other perennials like coreopsis, shasta daisy, hosta and astilbe.
