Iris sibirica Peacock Butterfly ‘So Van Gogh’

Iris sibirica 'So Van Gogh' has a bicolour palette of yellow and blue-purple flowers with purple veining throughout.

Iris sibirica ‘So Van Gogh’ has an out-of-this-world, bicolour palette of yellow falls and blue-purple standards with purple veining throughout. Flowers are smaller in size but more numerous. 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.
