Iris sibirica 'Cherry Fling' - Deep cherry-red halos edge the signals on the rosy falls. Signals are deep yellow and bronze deltas with tributaries in the same deep cherry-red. Standards are light plum-purple contrasting with white styles that are a most lovely tint of very pale pastel yellow at their gently serrated edges. Complex and beautiful this Marty Shafer / Jan Sacks introduction would contrast elegantly with white and cream yellow flowers (such as Iris sibirica 'Just Cruising'); add a few blue accents for color tension and good measure. Early Middle bloomer in the Siberian Iris season. Fully to mostly sunny siting in fertile, moisture retaining soil. Established pot grown from division.

Cultural requirements are simple but must be adhered to or plants are likely to languish, not perform and perhaps disappear from their special place in the garden. All of the cultivars we offer require a very nutritious loam rich in organic material preferably with a blend of composted animal manure and worm castings. Full sun exposure with your Siberian Iris in this deep moisture retaining soil will spell success. Please don't attempt circumvention with salt-based chemical fertilizers. Give them the rich, organic soil they require.
