    Elegant pure flowers with purple veins are produced in May and June above slender, strap-shaped leaves. This stately beardless Siberian iris is perfect for providing vertical interest for a sunny waterside planting with well-drained, fertile soil. A relatively tall variety it's important to stake the branched stems with bamboo canes in early spring well before the flowers appear.

  • Garden care: Plant shallowly with the upper part of the rhizome sitting on the surface of the soil, incorporating a low-nitrogen fertiliser in the planting hole. After planting remove the upper-most third of the leaves to minimise the incidence of wind rock. In exposed areas stake with bamboo canes in early spring.
