Iris sibirica 'Butter and Sugar'
Butter and Sugar Iris
Description
Siberian irises are haled for their elegant, delicate flowers and disease resistance. They perform admirably in the sunny to partially shady garden, but need plenty of water throughout the season to continue looking their best. In naturalized settings, they are particularly effective around water features. This variety has yellow and white blended flowers.
