Iris sibirica ‘Mission Bay’ has sublime flowers in pale blues with darker veining and yellow centres. 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. Part of the Peacock Butterfly series.
