Notes
'Fiddles on Fire' Siberian iris (Iris sibirica 'Fiddles on Fire') is a perennial. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. It stays compact at 12 to 24 inches tall, so it fits the front of a border or a small space. Flowers with prominent yellow flares and mauve veining open in early to late summer. The sword-like leaves keep the plant interesting after the bloom ends.
Pairs well with Columbine, Tiger lily, Cornflower, and Grape hyacinth.
