Royal Blue Siberian Iris is a deciduous perennial with a clumping habit. The long sword-like blue-green foliage fans upwards. The rigid sturdy stalks that grow from the center of the plant are topped by beardless royal blue flowers with purple veined center hearts with a base of yellow and white in summer, attracting bees. Flowers best in full sun and rich, slightly acidic, moist well-drained soils.
