Iris sibirica ‘Sugar Rush’
Iris sibirica 'Sugar Rush' has fragrant flowers in shades of watermelon-red, golden yellow, creamy-lavender.
Iris sibirica ‘Sugar Rush’ has lovely soft and unique colour combinations. Golden yellow falls are overlaid with wide margins and detailed veining in watermelon-red and creamy-lavender stands. Fragrant too. 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. Pollinator attractor. Deer and rabbit resistant.
