Iris Siberica 
Siberian Iris have no summer dormant 
season like the tall bearded iris so must 
be planted during spring or fall. They are 
excellent for brightening the borders of 
streams or ponds although they will thrive 
in most any part of the garden. A well 
watered soil rich in humus and slightly acid 
with full sun or light shade is recommended. 
A profusion of bloom on tall graceful stems 
emerging from grass-like foliage makes the 
Siberian Iris especially valuable for your 
garden.
