Ruffled Velvet Siberian Iris (IRIS SIBERICA RUFFLED VELVET) - 1 gallon

Ruffled Velvet Siberian Iris (Iris sibirica 'Ruffled Velvet') brings regal charm to garden beds, standing an elegant 24 to 28 inches tall. In late spring, rich plum-purple blooms unfurl with velvety, ruffled petals highlighted by golden-white throats. Unlike finicky perennials, this hardy beauty thrives in full sun to light afternoon shade and tolerates heavier soils with ease. For gardeners in USDA Zones 7–8, its slender, upright foliage offers outstanding natural resistance against hungry deer, rabbits, and javelina.

Plant rhizomes 1 to 2 inches deep in nutrient-rich soil. Blend a generous handful of Bone Meal into the planting hole to develop a resilient root system that handles summer warmth. Nourish crowns each spring using All Purpose Plant Food for larger, longer-lasting flowers. Spread a 2-inch layer of Watters Premium Mulch across the root zone to hold vital moisture and keep the soil evenly cool.
