Siberian Iris Gulls Wing

By McGarvey/Wadecamper 1989

Although these gentleman brought this beautiful white Siberian Iris into production I have found references to it being around long before that.  Perhaps hundreds of years.  It is a tall 30 to 36 inches although it can be shorter in poor soil.  It has large lightly ruffled pure white flaring falls on rigid stems.  It blooms a little later than the other Siberian iris and its wider falls make it appear almost like  Japanese iris.  The foliage remains upright and green throughout the summer and turns a beautiful bronze color after frost.  Looks a lot like Snow Queen but it has a little larger flower and is taller.

This Siberian iris has violet/pink flowers that are larger than the species.

They start blooming in June here in Wisconsin and are held above the attractive grass like foliage, at just under 3 feet.  Mature clumps can be 3 feet across and are loved by butterflies and not attractive to deer and rabbits. 

They will tolerate both overly wet and overly dry soil, but love moist fertile soil and plenty of sun. Siberian Iris have no serious pests.

Iris Siberian Butter and Sugar

A historic iris, being the first of its kind – a yellow siberian.

This Siberian iris has creamy white standards and butter yellow falls. They are about 28 inches tall and bloom like crazy in between the time when the bearded iris and the daylillies are blooming. They enjoy moist soil but will do fine in a garden setting. Hardy to zone 3 they are attractive to butterflies but resistant to deer and rabbits and will mature to a large flowering clump in a few years.

Collected in Japan by Barr in 1900.

An oldie but a goodie; this variety has pure white flowers with bright yellow in the throat.  They are held high over attractive blue green foliage that is about 2 feet tall.  Hardy to zone 4, this variety even looks good in the winter with its rust fall foliage and attractive seed pods.  Looks a lot like gulls wing but it is a little smaller both in flower size and height.

Siberian Iris are very hardy (zone 3). This one is deep purple and blooms in early June here in Wisconsin. It gets about 3 feet tall and can form large clumps up to 3 feet across. When the clumps get large enough that they start dying out in the middle just do some transplants. They are very tough and can take most conditions including poor dry soil and even boggy conditions, but will do best in moist soil and full sun.  Siberian Iris attracts butterflies and they are not favored by deer and rabbits.  There are no bugs or disease to worry about with these plants and they remain attractive well into fall and winter.  Just cut them down in spring.

Although this is actually a Siberian Iris, it does look like a Japanese iris and is sometimes mistakenly listed as one. The stiff grassy foliage is about 2 feet tall with the 3-4 inch blooms in mass above the foliage in June.

These beauties are hardy to zone 4 some even say zone 3 and prefer slightly acidic moist soil. They can tolerate wet feet at the edge of your pond, but will also grow in standard garden soil.

The big bi-colored flowers have a wheel like shape to them. There are 6 petals with lavender falls and 3 signals which are also lavender. The center of the bloom is cream to cinnamon in color.

This Siberian iris can be quite tall in fertile moist soil (up to 3 feet).  It will be shorter, but still bloom like crazy, on sandy soils. The electric blue blooms will appear inky in certain light and have a reddish or velvet purple sheen at other times of the day. The signals are white with a distinct black penciling. They are vigorous and floriferous, blooming at the same time as the tall bearded iris. The sword like dark green foliage remains attractive long after the blooms fade and even becomes a rusty accent for the winter garden.
