Award Winning Color

Harmonious hues of copper-cinnamon red with bright yellow set the Iris garden ablaze. Orange-red stippled falls glow with yellow signals. From the Peacock Butterfly Series®, renowned for their unusual color combinations, substantial blooming, and slight sweet fragrance. Iris sibirica Paprikash was the recipient of several awards by the American Iris Society – Honorable Mention 2014, Award of Merit 2017 and Morgan-Wood Medal in 2019. Pair Iris sibirica Paprikash with purple Siberian Irises for bold, eye-catching contrast. An excellent choice for cut flower bouquets. Forms large clumps of slender blade-like leaves with the intricate flowers held above the foliage on strong stems. Plant around water features for stunning early summer color.

Iris General Information

Iris Sibirica are dazzling flowers that provide a bold splash of color atop narrow stems and sword-like foliage. Prized for their strong upright presentation. Sturdy flower stalks are adorned with intricately patterned flowers in rich colors. Dense root systems prevent weeds as plants grow together in large clumps. Great on banks.

Iris Plant Care

Low care plant - best to leave undisturbed. If transplanted or divided, they may take a couple of seasons to bloom again. Leave a few seed pods on for late season interest. Some self seeding may occur. Foliage develops a golden autumn color which holds into early winter. Cut down old foliage in spring.

All potted plant material is restricted from shipping to Idaho

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
