Description Beardless, dark purple blooms rise above refined, slender, sword-like green foliage. A stand-out in the border when planted en masse. This highly adaptable iris thrives in moist soils, where others will not. An herbaceous perennial.
Bloom Time Spring
Deciduous/Evergreen Herbaceous
Special Features Easy Care, Fast Growing
Problems/Solutions Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant, Very Wet Areas, Black Walnut Tolerant
Growth Rate Fast
Growth Habit Clumping
Flower Attributes Flowers for Cutting, Showy Flowers

Design Ideas This potent Siberian Iris will adapt to practically all garden conditions and styles. Use to simulate water in dry streambeds or around landscape boulders. Try as an equivalent to water Iris in damp spots around pools, ponds and water gardens. Although it works well in the woodland garden, where there is enough sun to accentuate its color, it's best in full sun and mixed into wild meadow stands. An exceptional reed-like plant for emerald-green antique ceramic pots and urns.
Flower Color Purple
Foliage Color Green
Companion Plants Coneflower (Echinacea); Turtlehead (Chelone); Daylily (Hemerocallis); Bee Balm (Monarda); Spiderwort (Tradescantia)
Care Instructions Easy and adaptable; thrives in enriched, neutral to slightly acidic, well-drained soils. Water regularly until well-established. Once established, water regularly from spring through bloom period; reduce frequency after bloom period. Remove faded foliage as new leaves emerge. Divide every 4 to 5 years in fall.
