SIBERIAN IRIS 
Tall beardless iris with grass-like foliage, that are unsurpassed for landscaping purposes. The dainty flowers 
are carried on slender graceful stems and are excellent for cutting. They may be left undisturbed for years and 
will continue to increase in amount of bloom and beauty; 30 to 50 inches in height. 
CULTURE—Siberian and Spuria Iris are moisture lovers and will thrive in 
partial shade or full sun. They will grow and bloom in almost any soil 
that is suitable for other perennial flowers but will grow much taller and 
more beautiful if kept constantly moist during the growing season. Plant 
See in the background or as foundation plants in the border. Very 
ardy.
