Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Iris sibirica 'White Amber' has flowers in unique shades of cream, buttery yellow, golden yellow, and brownish yellow with a hint of pink and dark brownish veins. Siberian irises have elegant, delicate flowers atop vertical columns of strap-like green foliage that look great all season long. They are tough, love-lived, and disease resistant preferring average to moist soils. Useful for bridging the gap between spring and summer flowering perennials and between tall bearded irises and Japanese irises, making possible a vibrant succession of colour combinations.
