Iris 'Silver Edge'
Siberian iris ( syn. Iris sibirica Silver Edge )
Dusky, mid-blue petals, each with a distinctive silver edge, form lightly ruffled flowers in May and June above slender, blue-green, strap-shaped leaves. This beautiful blue, Siberian iris provides vertical interest in a sunny garden border or waterside planting. More vigorous than other varieties, it's particularly valuable for holding together deteriorating riverbanks.
How to care for Iris Silver Edge:
