Iris sibirica 'Cream of Tomato' - Exceptional light coral pink falls contrast warmly with the yellow signal. The three standards are lighter coral to coral-lavender with a touch a light yellow in the central vein. Standards alternate with soft, gentle pastel yellow styles. This is a lovely, gentle yet complex Siberian Iris in a most satisfying color combo. 'Cream of Tomato' would be sumptuous with Iris sibirica 'Just Cruising'. The color blend of 'Cream of Tomato' may be paler down south, more vibrant in the north. This most worthy Marty Shafer / Jan Sacks introduction is an Early bloomer in the Siberian Iris parade. 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.
