White Flower Farm Wings Over Water Siberian Iris Collection

Bareroot crowns are dormant plants shipped without soil around their roots. This is a standard, healthy way to transport perennials, as it allows the plant to focus its energy on establishing a strong root system in your garden immediately after planting.

Yes, Siberian Irises are generally avoided by deer, making them a reliable choice if you have frequent visitors in your garden. While no plant is 100% deer-proof, these are a much safer bet than many other flowering perennials.

This collection includes twelve plants, and each should be spaced about 18 inches apart. You will need roughly 18 to 20 square feet of garden space to accommodate the entire collection comfortably.

Yes, Siberian Irises actually prefer average to damp soil conditions. They are an excellent choice for areas of your garden that hold moisture, such as near a pond edge or in low-lying spots where other plants might struggle.

While you might see a few blooms, Siberian Irises typically require one full season to establish their root systems. You can expect the most heavy, reliable flowering to begin the year after planting.

You can leave the foliage standing through the summer to continue nourishing the roots. It is best to cut the foliage back to the ground in late autumn or early spring once it has turned brown and dormant.
