Siberian Iris 'Tycoon'

Decadent, royal purple flowers with a blue blush. The tall stems shine at the back of garden beds, or in pots. The flowers make a great addition to floral arrangements.

Siberian Iris have strong, narrow stems that give the illusion that they are almost floating over the foliage, like butterflies. These hardy Iris need practically no maintenance and will prosper in any well drained soil. With up to five blooms on a stem, Siberian Iris is a winner.

The seed pods turn from green to brown and can be left standing for display.

The dry tolerant nature of these hardy rhizomes makes Siberian Iris an ideal choice for water wise gardeners. Plant in well drained soil in a full sun position, they need six hours sun a day to flower at their best.

Siberian Iris will tolerate poor soils but thrive in a humus rich environment. Plant so the crown is just below the soil surface. Water in well. They are best left to naturalise and will flower more prolifically as they establish. You will only need to dig and divide every four or five years so they are ideal for low maintenance gardens.

The flowers begin to open at the end of the Bearded Iris season and a little before Japanese Iris.
