Iris sibirica ‘Tipped in Blue’
Iris sibirica 'Tipped in Blue' is a showstopper with its soft violet-blue and yellow flowers with intricate veining.
Stunning! Iris sibirica ‘Tipped in Blue’ has unique bicolour flowers with soft violet-blue standards and yellow falls with blue veins and blue tips. 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. Hummingbird and bee attractor. Deer and rabbit resistant.
