Description
Primrose yellow and lavender blue is a heavenly colour combo, and Iris sibrica 'Tipped in Blue' delivers it with perfection, all in one gorgeous display of early summer blooms. A close look at the flowers reveals alluring details—the yellow falls are muted with a dense network of mauve-blue veins and petal tips. The overall effect of these dusky blooms is gorgeously vintage. All planting schemes should have some warm hues, and this toned-down yellow brings a beautifully subtle diversity to any neighbouring blues, purples and pinks.
Plant Iris sibrica 'Tipped in Blue' in a sunny spot with reliably moist but free draining soil and this hardy and resilient perennial will settle in nicely, returning every year for a repeat show. The flowers are produced on tall stems among upright, sword-like leaves. By bringing a grassy texture to the border, the foliage has ornamental as well as functional value. Over time, these Siberian irises will multiply, establishing themselves into a sturdy clump which provides a high-impact block of early summer colour to enjoy every year.

Useful information
-
Soak your Iris 'Tipped in Blue' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting.
Plant your "Siberian iris" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors.
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed.
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
