Iris sibirica 'Silver Girl' - Siberian Iris from Quackin Grass Nursery

Iris sibirica 'Silver Girl' - Generously ruffled very light blue standards with feathered styles gently pas de chat upon a stage of broad lavender-blue falls. Standards and styles partially cover the small, white signals all upon a lovely, rounded and full iris bloom making a Swan Lake of a statement in the garden. Standards and falls are veined quietly, subtly which adds to the placid look and feel of a flower with a decidedly feminine affect. Two-branched stalks sport 8 to 10 buds which make for a game, bank, team, bevy, or is it a lamentation of swans??? I'll take 'em all... It's a mesmerizing ballet in the garden. Be enchanted. Enjoy! Middle bloomer in the Siberian Iris spectrum. Established pot grown 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. When you think it's rich enough add more - just think of death by chocolate. 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.
