Product Description
Iris pseudata 'Shiryukyo' ('Purple Dragon's Valley') (25) Bare Root Plants
Common Name: Pseudata Iris
This midseason to late season bloomer produces reddish purple standards with a deep purple marking that outlines the bright yellow signal above dark green foliage. We've observed this iris to be very vigorous.
Pseudata Iris are a cross between Iris pseudocorus and Iris ensata ("pseudata" is combination of both names). Iris pseudata creates the best of both species-the hybrid vigor, the higher bud count, color blend, eye signals, a longer season of bloom, and the plants are sterile and do not seed around.
Iris pseudata grows best in moist soils and sun. Although it tolerates part shade, plant in full sun for best performance. This plant will do very well in standing water, such as water or rain gardens, as well as normal gardening conditions.
