Iris sibirica 'Miss Apple' - This exceptional and surprising Siberian Iris tiptoes closer to red by a few quiet steps. Richly contrasting signals are warm yellow and serve to both contrast and simultaneously underscore the astonishing red / red-violet of the falls. Both signals and standards exhibit a lighter shade of violet. These also contrast beautifully with the much deeper, darker falls with the warm yellow signals. Standards are diamond-dusted. Styles display midribs in a darker red-purple than the lighter outer tissue. Complex and lovely, 'Miss Apple' will demand attention. Another most worthy Marty Shafer / Jan Sacks introduction. Fully to mostly sunny siting in fertile, moisture retaining soil. Mid-season bloomer in the Siberian Iris season. 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.
