Siberian Iris Snow Queen

A beautiful beardless iris for moist soil, Iris sibirica Snow Queen is a clump-forming, rhizomatous, herbaceous perennial with branching stems and narrow, rather grass-like, grey-green, sword-shaped leaves up to 18”/45cm long. In May and June, beautiful, typical iris flowers in pure white, sometimes flushed purple, with a yellow base are borne, usually two to a stem. The flowers are attractive to bees. Siberian iris Snow Queen loves moist but not waterlogged soil. Cut back faded leaves in autumn, and divide congested clumps immediately after flowering.
