Siberian Iris 
Caesar 
20c 
Russia and Central Europe are the home of Iris “Siberica” 
while “Orientalis” comes from Manchuria and Japan. These 
two species have been crossed and the qualities and character¬ 
istics of both parents have been blended together and inter¬ 
mingled to produce a race that is now commonly called 
“Siberian Iris.” 
They are all quite hardy, and many eminent authorities 
consider them the most elegant of all Irises. They are of the 
easiest culture and are prodigious bloomers, an established 
clump often producing fifty or more flowering stalks. They 
grow on long thin tubular stems, have ornamental, grass¬ 
like foliage and are excellent cut flowers, lasting a long time 
when cut. They bloom about the same time as the “Bearded” 
Iris. They are especially fine for landscape work, or for border¬ 
ing a brook or pond, where they should be kept just above the 
water line. They prefer a moist, well-drained, sunny situation 
and soil that is rich in humus, but will take care of themselves 
almost anywhere. In fact, I have had them do exceedingly 
well in almost full shade, where the soil was quite dry. The 
best fertilizer is well-rotted stable manure. Avoid lime, also 
bone meal on account of its lime content.
