The Ruffled Velvet Siberian Iris has beautiful blooms, but take a closer look, and these flowers are even more striking. Upright and drooping petals are the hallmark of an Iris, and this cultivar features petals in a deep plum hue. What really sets these blooms apart are the black and gold accents near the center of each flower. The Iris sibirica has narrow, sword-shaped leaves that emerge from the base of the plant. Enjoy the flowers from June through July, and the green foliage stays in place for the rest of the season after the blooms fade.
Grow this plant in beds borders, or create a dazzling mass planting. Butterflies are attracted to the blooms, so feature this beauty in a butterfly garden. The Siberian Iris is a clump-forming plant that is relatively low maintenance and grows as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 8. The blooms and greenery are deer-resistant for added convenience.
