Siberian Iris....organically grown....fresh dug from our fields.
According to Dr. Currier McEwen,  America's foremost breeder of Siberian Iris, these
robust plants were in cultivation by 1600!  Siberian Iris have a much more delicate foliage display than other iris,  
producing stands of thin, grass-like leaves.  Siberians bloom just after the bearded iris and before the
care-free a garden plant as possible.  While full sun and a slightly acidic soil with average water are best, varying
degrees ofthe norm are easily tolerated by this hardy grower.  One of the parents of many of todays' cultivars is
i. sanguinea  which is native to Siberia, Korea,  Japan and northeastern China.  No wonder this garden gem is
so hardy!  For the most part Siberians are listed as zone 3 in the literature.  I list zone 4 only because that's
our
zone and our experience.
