Siberian Iris Roots - Mission Bay Perennial Rhizomes

Siberian Iris - Mission Bay Variety

The Mission Bay Siberian Iris is a perennial plant selection recognized for its structural foliage and distinct flower form. These rhizomes are sourced to provide gardeners with a reliable foundation for perennial borders, rain gardens, or waterside plantings. Unlike annual seed mixes that require frequent replanting, these iris roots establish a long-term presence in the landscape.

Planting and Cultivation Guidelines

To ensure successful establishment, follow these horticultural practices:

• Site Selection: Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade. These plants perform effectively in moist, well-draining soil conditions.
• Planting Depth: Position the rhizomes horizontally, ensuring the top of the root is covered with approximately 1 to 2 inches of soil.
• Spacing: Space individual rhizomes 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for mature clump development and adequate air circulation.
• Moisture Management: Maintain consistent soil moisture, particularly during the first growing season. These plants are tolerant of damp soil, making them suitable for areas that retain water.
