Snow Queen Siberian Iris is a reblooming deciduous perennial with a clumping habit and long upwards fanning sword-like blue-green foliage. The rigid sturdy stalks that grow from the center of the plant are topped by profuse blooms of lightly ruffled white beardless flowers with soft gold throats in late spring to early summer, attracting bees. Flowers best in full sun and rich, slightly acidic, moist well-drained soils.
