One of the older varieties - very profuse bloomer.

Siberian irises are hailed for their elegant, delicate flowers and disease resistance. They perform admirably in the sunny to partially shady garden, but need plenty of water throughout the season to continue looking their best. In naturalized settings, they are particularly effective around water features. Siberian Irises bloom before Japanese Irises but after Tall Bearded Irises. Like most Iris, the tough, sword-like leaves of the siberians are resistant to deer browsing.

Care: Siberian Irises are among the easiest and most trouble-free species to grow in their genus. They prefer full sun, though they will tolerate part shade especially in warmer zones. Plant in rich, moist soil that is moderately acidic. Deadheading this variety will not prolong its bloom. It is best to leave these irises untouched until there is a notable lessening of blooms. At that time, they may be divided, preferably in the fall but also in the spring. New clumps may take two or three years to become firmly established, at which time they will begin to bloom profusely.
