Iris sibirica 'Wynne Magnolia'

Siberian Iris

Plant Type:

GRASSES & GRASS-LIKE PLANTS

Iris sibirica 'Wynne Magnolia' - Lovely. Lovely. Lovely. An extraordinary large-flowered cream and peach blend with a bare suffusion of pastel pink. The broad cream at the edges of the falls gradually trends towards the peach tone at the centers and bases. Large standards and styles are white with the barest hint of light yellow nearer the base. All parts are generously, even perfectly ruffled. Excellent substance and strong stems support five buds per stalk. Mid-season blooming in the Siberian Iris season. Nicely named for Marty Shafer and Jan Sack's grand-niece, Winnie. And, yes, obviously another most worthy Marty Shafer / Jan Sacks introduction. 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.

Genus Overview: Iris

Common Name: Iris

From small woodland species and tiny forms happy in a sunny trough to those that stretch to one's waist and higher irises are among the most beautiful and unique of herbaceous perennials. They come in an amazing array of colors with fans of foliage that provide textural contrast to other garden denizens long after the flowers have passed. None that we carry are especially common. All are beautiful in the full sun border with many adaptable to pond's edge. They want a home! Pot grown division unless otherwise indicated.
