22 THE LONGFIELD IRIS FARM 
Siberian Iris 
The Siberian Iris are tall with slender stems and narrow, grass-like 
foliage. Flowers are smaller than the Tall Bearded Iris and have narrow 
petals, making them fine for cut flowers. The plants do well in a moist loca- 
tion as well as in any good garden location. They are not benefited by lime. 
Plant in spring or fall.
