Iris sibirica "Caesar's Brother"
Iris sibirica Caesar’s Brother for Perennial Landscapes
Siberian irises are haled for their elegant, delicate flowers and disease resistance. They perform admirably in the sunny to partially shady garden but need plenty of water throughout the season to continue looking their best. In naturalized settings, they are particularly effective around water features. They can also be grown under Black Walnut trees since they are not affected by juglone. Siberian Irises bloom before Japanese Irises but after Tall Bearded Irises.
- Deep purple self; yellow and white blaze with black veining
- One of the oldest and but still one of the best Siberians on the market
- Blooms profusely in early summer
- Tall foliage remains beautiful until frost
Ships as a Grade #1 Root.
