Iris Sibirica 'Fiddles on Fire'- Siberian Iris

flares and intricate mauve veining. If you love the look of irises but need a shorter option that isn't going to overwhelm other plants and fit into your space- this is a perfect option for you. They compliment many other perennials and look great in border and cottage style gardens. Siberian irises are haled for their elegant, delicate flowers and disease resistance. They perform admirably in the sunny to partially shady garden, but need plenty of water throughout the season to continue looking their best. In naturalized settings, they are particularly effective around water features. They can also be grown under Black Walnut trees since they are not effected by juglone. Siberian Irises bloom before Japanese Irises but after Tall Bearded Irises. A single clump of Siberian Iris plants in bloom is a beautiful sight, a group of them can be a show stopper. The thinner, shorter and more grass like foliage creates an opportunity for dense plantings than can't be achieved with the Tall Bearded Iris. Photo Credit: Walters Gardens
