This season we have several new varieties of Iris sibirica from the prized 'Peacock Butterfly' series developed in the USA. They are colourful, unusual and exciting, Grade 1 bare roots that will attract multitudes of admiring comments and provide sustenance to pollinators when they bloom from May to July each year. Iris sibirica 'Peacock Butterfly Fiddles on Fire' is one of these newbies and sure to catch your eye. The flaming, deep red and bright, fiery yellow 'falls' strikingly contrast with the paler plum pink interior, or standard, petals. This intense colouration is not to be missed and the sword-like foliage beneath offers further extended interest from March through to October without fading or toppling over. Add to this a sweet, delicate fragrance - ideal for a vase as well as a border or container - and they become irresistible.Plant Iris sibirica 'Peacock Butterfly Fiddles on Fire' in moist, well-drained soil which benefits from full sun or partial shade. Plants are drought tolerant once roots are established yet will also do well planted around a pond where soil may be damper. A hardy, herbaceous perennial.
