Iris 'Ruffled Velvet'

Siberian iris (syn. Iris sibirica)

Product Image
Sumptuous, deep violet-purple flowers, each with darker, ruffled lower petals, appear in late spring among clumps of slender, strap-shaped leaves. Give this Siberian iris room to spread and if space allows, plant it in generous, naturalised drifts. It looks wonderful when planted at the edges of a pond, but is equally worthy of a place in a mixed or herbaceous border.

How to care for Iris Ruffled Velvet:

Plant in soil that has been improved with well-rotted manure or garden compost and do not allow to dry out, particularly as the plant is getting established. If planted in a container, it will need dividing and repotting every couple of years in spring.
