Iris sibirica ‘Kaboom’ will make a bang in your garden or vase with its large, stunning, bi-colour, double blooms of violet-blue and contrasting creamy centres with purple veining. Siberian irises have elegant, delicate flowers atop vertical columns of strap-like green foliage that look great all season long. They are tough, long-lived, and disease resistant preferring average to moist soils. Useful for bridging the gap between spring and summer flowering perennials and between tall bearded irises and Japanese irises, making possible a vibrant succession of colour combinations. May re-bloom later in the season. Attracts hummingbirds. Deer resistant.
