Siberian Iris


For years I've aspired to siberian irises like a clump I saw for several years at Elm Bank. However, I wasn't impressed with the options at various stores, that and I'm broke. Back in 09 I bought some roots off eBay, they did okay for their first year but nothing impressive. The next year they got a little bigger, but I panicked about how slow they were coming up and bought more roots in a bag from a big box store. Now I have several pots of slowly growing iris. They'd get about a foot tall then just laze about. I planted them out in the yard around 2010 i think and I got maybe 3 flowers. This year I should get triple that. To most it won't seem like much, but they're finally waist high and look happy.
