Iris Paprikash Siberian – IRIS s. ‘Paprikash’. 18-20″ tall, 12-18″ spread, full sun, late spring-early summer bloom. Warm cinnamon tones overlay crisp yellow on the falls while the signals are a cream honey and veined in violet. This unexpectedly vibrant iris will add instant intrigue and a dash of spice to your landscape. Graceful slim, grassy foliage. Easy to grow. Fragrant. Zones 3-9. #1 bareroot.
Siberian Irises are among the easiest and most trouble-free species to grow in their genus. They prefer full sun, though they will tolerate part shade especially in warmer zones. Plant in rich, moist soil that is moderately acidic (5.2-6.4). Deadheading this variety will not prolong its bloom.
It is best to leave these irises untouched until there is a notable lessening of blooms. At that time, they may be divided, preferably in the fall but also in the spring. New clumps may take two or three years to become firmly established, at which time they will begin to bloom profusely.
