Primrose yellow and lavender blue is a heavenly colour combo, and Iris sibrica 'Tipped in Blue' delivers it with perfection, all in one gorgeous display of early summer blooms. A close look at the flowers reveals alluring details—the yellow falls are muted with a dense network of mauve-blue veins and petal tips. The overall effect of these dusky blooms is gorgeously vintage. All planting schemes should have some warm hues, and this toned-down yellow brings a beautifully subtle diversity to any neighbouring blues, purples and pinks.  

Plant Iris sibrica 'Tipped in Blue' in a sunny spot with reliably moist but free draining soil and this hardy and resilient perennial will settle in nicely, returning every year for a repeat show. The flowers are produced on tall stems among upright, sword-like leaves. By bringing a grassy texture to the border, the foliage has ornamental as well as functional value. Over time, these Siberian irises will multiply, establishing themselves into a sturdy clump which provides a high-impact block of early summer colour to enjoy every year.
