Notes
'Perry's Blue' Siberian iris (Iris sibirica 'Perry's Blue') is a clumping perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It blooms in spring and again in summer, and butterflies and hummingbirds visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Bee's primrose, Aurea tufted sedge, Roma greater masterwort, and Sensitive fern.
