This is such an unusual Siberian! Wide yellow falls intricately veined in purple are crowned with dusky lavender styles. 'Purring Tiger' is compact for Siberian Iris, standing about a foot and half tall. Expect this midseason bloomer to roar to life as it flowers in early summer.

In general, Siberian irises are elegant and disease resistant. They perform admirably in the sunny to partially shady garden but need regular water throughout the season to maintain their good looks. They are not affected by juglone and so can be grown under black walnut trees. Siberian Irises bloom before Japanese Irises but after Tall Bearded Irises - about the same time as peony season.
