SIBERIAN IRIS 
In comparison to the heavy blooms of the Tall Bearded or 
German Iris, the Siberians have smaller flowers, but there are 
more of them to the plant, and on their tall slender stems they 
appear more butterfly-like and graceful. They bloom a little 
later than the bearded, and are among the best for cut flowers. 
Clumps very compact, with flowers massed at the top. Very 
hardy, muhiply fast, and will thrive on dry soil, but prefer 
moist location. Full sun or half shade. Good for rockery 
and about the pool. Delivery spring or fall. 
Siberian Blue —Rich blue. 
Siberian White —Handsome white.
