Iris sibirica, commonly known as Siberian iris, is a beautiful and versatile species of iris that originates from central and eastern Europe. Foliage: Siberian iris forms clumps of narrow, green, sword-shaped leaves that typically grow 12-30 inches tall. Flowers: This iris blooms in late spring to early summer, producing delicate flowers with three upright "standards" and three hanging "falls". The flowers come in shades of blue, purple, white, and pink. Growth Habit: Iris sibirica is a rhizomatous perennial that spreads slowly to form dense colonies over time. Mature clumps can reach 18-36 inches tall and wide. Cultural Needs: Siberian iris prefers full sun to partial shade and consistently moist, well-drained, acidic soils. It is more tolerant of wet soils compared to many other iris species. Native Habitat: In the wild, Iris sibirica is native to wetland habitats across central and eastern Europe, including Siberia, Poland, and the Balkans. Wildlife Value: The nectar-rich flowers of Siberian iris attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The foliage also provides cover for small animals. Overall, Iris sibirica is a lovely, versatile iris that offers graceful, colorful flowers and a high degree of adaptability to moist garden conditions. Its tidy, spreading growth habit makes it suitable for many landscape applications.
