Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Iris sibirica 'Painted Woman' has lightly fragrant flowers in elegant shades of pearl, red-violet, pink, dusky rose, and yellow with prominent veining. Siberian irises have elegant, delicate flowers atop vertical columns of strap-like green foliage that look great all season long.
