Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Iris sibirica 'Sunfisher' is a Siberian iris noted for its elegantly ruffled lemon-yellow standards and deeper yellow falls contrasting beautifully with its green foliage. It will reach 28 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. Siberian irises are useful as they fill the gap between spring and summer flowering perennials and between tall bearded irises and Japanese irises for a vibrant succession of colour while offering fine architectural foliage. Use in the cottage, rain and woodland gardens, in borders, mass plantings, as a focal point, and in the vase. Hummingbird and bee attractor. Deer and rabbit resistant.
