Siberian Iris (Iris siberica)
Example of approximately what these plants look like when shipped. See the eighth photograph of any plant to see a photo of what it looks like when shipped.Siberian Iris thrives in moist to wet conditions, where others will not. Because the roots drive down deeply they are drought tolerant and perform famously on slopes as erosion control. Particularly stunning around streams, pools, ponds and water gardens in naturalized settings, this is one perennial that simply won't disappoint.
