Iris sibirica, commonly known as Siberian iris or Siberian flag, is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial with long leaves, tall stems, holding numerous violet-blue to blue, and occasionally white flowers. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate regions.
Iris sibirica is native to Europe and Central Asia, and has been naturalized in various states of North America including in Canada Ontario, and in the USA Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and California. Siberian Iris is considered vulnerable or rare in many countries.
It is found in nature growing in damp woodlands, wet meadows, grasslands or pastures, along lakes, and beside streams, and ditches beside roadsides.
They can also be used within a Herbaceous border. The iris can also be used in mixed plantings with grasses and other perennials to create naturalised gardens and meadows. They also also good at waterside locations beside pools, ponds or streams, and are ideal bog garden plants.
It prefers positions in full sun in most areas, but can tolerate part shade. Especially in very hot, arid regions, they will need some shade, as well as watering and mulching.
The iris will tolerate temperatures down to -20 °C (-4 °F). It is hardy to USDA Zone 2–8, and if the plants are mulched in winter they can withstand zone 1.
They are sturdy plants and do not need to be staked.
