If that's your fist siberian iris, you are going to love it! Mine is almost 4' high. My sil gave me a 3 leaf start a few years ago and it is now a 1' x1' clump.


The blooms open in the am and close late afternoon, to look almost like grapes hanging in clusters. Even the foliage is cool - the secondary leaves come off at a sharp angle, very striking.

It's a great, no-problem plant that looks really exotic.

I do the same with my seeds, btw. I walk around about this time crumbling the dried pods into the beds. The neighborhood kids call me *that old flower lady* cuz they always see me out in the flowers.

Hey, any hints for keeping dahlia tubers good over winter? I planted 3 the beginning of summer and just dug up 50.
