Siberian Iris Magnetism

Siberian Iris Magnetism draws the eye with light blue to violet standards over heavily veined blue to blue-violet falls, edged pale blue and finished with clear yellow signals. Flowering mid season, typically in early to mid June, sturdy stems to 65 cm hold the blooms neatly above blue-green foliage. Siberian Iris Magnetism forms a tidy clump in sun to part shade and prefers evenly moist, humus-rich soil—an enduring perennial for pond sides and mixed borders.

How to grow Japanese iris

Iris ensata is a full-sun iris growing naturally in open wet fields in eastern Asia. Iris ensata has a vertical growth habit like most other iris species. Its large flowers come in different shades of blue. It needs to be grown in an acid humus-rich soil, with regular watering between early March and the end of July. Iris ensata can be planted in a sunny place in the garden, at the banks of a pond or slow flowing streams, or in wet places that are not flooded during the winter. It may prove necessary to cover the young plants through the first winter (with mulch, straw or bark shavings etc.) especially in the case of late planting.
