Iris sibirica 'Caesar's Brother'
Zone 3 – 8, perhaps 9.
Full sun to partial shade.
Deep purple flowers in late spring rise to height of 36 to 40 inches on rigid stems. Hardy clumps of arching, slender, grass-like, slightly bluish-green leaves spread quickly. One of the most easily grown Iris, this adaptable Siberian Iris will tolerate a wide range of soils. It will adapt to poor, dry soil or boggy conditions; but best planted in medium to moist, well-drained, fertile, slightly acid soil. Plant on hillsides for erosion control, along a stream, water garden or pond, and a great patio container plant. Use in massed plantings to provide weed control. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system to help make them drought resistant, once established. Excellent cut flower, but lasts only 1 to 2 days. Less susceptible to iris borer and soft rot than tall bearded iris. Low maintenance and deer resistant. *Sold as a Flat of eighteen (18) plants in four (4) inch pots. Price per plant $4.14. One Flat of (18) plants counts as one (1) item when calculating shipping cost. Not available for shipment to AK, CA, or HI.
