Iris sibirica 'Caesar's Brother' - SIBEARIAN IRIS 'CAESAR'S BROTHER'
Older cultivar, but very reliable, strictly upright, vigorous and hardy with excellent deep purple flowers in May.
Morgan Award winner (1953).
36"- 40" tall x 18"- 24" wide clumps of nice grassy leaves, that stay ornamental for the whole season.
Full sun, half shade, grows in average soils with average moisture (medium), but likes moisture and can be planted in moist to wet soil too. Grows well in heavier soils and clay.
Hardy in zones 3 to 8. Iris sibirica is native to Europe and Asia, but it is well behaved perennial here in USA.
Deer and rabbit resistant. Tolerant to black walnut.
Very good plant for flower borders, cottage gardens, rain gardens, cut flower gardens, water bodies banks, pond margins.
Cut flower too - but flowers last only about two days.
