Siberian Iris Ego
Iris sibirica ‘Ego’ is a graceful and eye-catching Siberian iris. The blooms feature soft lavender-blue petals with intricate veining and a hint of creamy white at the base, adding a subtle contrast and elegance. Flowering in late spring to early summer, the slender, upright stems rise above clumps of narrow, grass-like foliage that remain attractive throughout the season.
This hardy perennial thrives in moist, well-drained soil and is particularly well-suited to borders, waterside planting, or naturalistic gardens. ‘Ego’ is also easy to grow, low maintenance, and highly attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies.
