Plant DescriptionBeardless dark purple blooms rise above refined, slender sword-like green foliage. A stand-out in the border when planted in mass. This highly adaptable iris thrives in moist soils, where others will not. Herbaceous perennial.
Iris Sibirica "Caesar's Brother" Siberian Iris
This beautiful plant pleases all season long. Purple blooms appear in mid-spring and the grass-like foliage looks great with other perennials in the garden. It tolerates wet soil but is also happy in medium well-drained soil. I have found the more sun it gets, the more blooms you will have.

Design IdeasThis potent Siberian Iris will adapt to practically all garden conditions and styles. Use to simulate water in dry streambeds or around landscape boulders. Try as an equivalent to water Iris in damp spots around pools, ponds and water gardens. Although it works well in the woodland garden, where there is enough sun to accentuate its color, it's best in full sun and mixed into wild meadow stands. An exceptional reed-like plant for emerald-green antique ceramic pots and urns.
