Iris sibirica ‘Ruffled Velvet’ is a Siberian iris with lightly ruffled, purple-blue standards and darker purple falls with golden throats and dark veining. It will reach 24 to 30 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. Siberian irises are useful as they fill the gap between spring and summer flowering perennials and between tall bearded irises and Japanese irises for a vibrant succession of colour while offering fine architectural foliage. Use in the cottage, rain and woodland gardens. In borders, mass plantings, as a focal point and in the vase. Hummingbird and bee attractor. Deer and rabbit resistant.
