Iris sibirica ‘Ginger Twist’ offers an unusual colour break with flowers in shades of deep yellow, cinnamon, creamy yellow, white, and lavender. 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. A member of the Peacock Butterfly series.
