The siberian
iris is probably the best iris for the perennial
garden. They are hardy and tolerate drought well
once they are established. The siberian
iris has few insects and diseases and do not
require insecticides or fungicidal sprays. This beardless iris will tolerate some shade but they do best in one half to full sun.
They require little supplemental water
once established but also tolerate moist conditions around
a pond or along a stream. The siberian iris is best planted in the spring or early fall and should be kept moist the first year. They are cold hardy and thrive in hardiness zones 3 through 9. Weed control is easy with organic mulches and this also helps to keep the soil moist and cool.
Few plants are so rewarding to the gardener giving beautiful
flowers, graceful foliage, and fall interest like the siberian iris. This is with
only a small amount of care. The grassy foliage of these perennial plants blends well into
the border and then changes to an attractive orange-brown
in the fall. The seedpods are useful in flower arrangements.
