Description
Iris siberica
Siberian iris is not as showy as many other types of irises are, but it makes up for this by being easy to grow and more drought-tolerant. Bees and butterflies are drawn to it, but deer tend not to eat it, and the plant is also resistant to rabbits. So you will not have to spend a lot of time on pest control when growing Siberian iris.
While not large by iris standards, the flowers are colorful and have a graceful shape. An advantage the Siberian iris has over the bearded iris (Iris germanica), for example, is that its foliage, which forms vase-shaped clumps, remains attractive after the blooming period is over. The leaves are narrow and bluish-green.
