Caesar’s Brother Siberian Iris – 6 Pack Of 1 Gallon Pots

One our all-time favorites and hands down one of the best and most profuse blooming Iris you’ll ever grow, Caesar’s Brother is an exceptionally hardy variety that will grow almost anywhere in the United States (Zones 3a-9b). We’ve had it growing in our landscape since the late 1980’s and it continues to flourish and produce LOADS of flowers. In mid to late spring, deep purple beardless flowers perched atop sturdy stems rise above thick clumps of slender, deep green leaves that remain attractive throughout the season. Truly spectacular in mass plantings. Highly adaptable, you can grow Caeasar’s Brother in moist but well-drained to wet soils and full sun to part shade. Established plants have high drought tolerance.

While most Iris are grown only in flower garden beds, Caeasar’s Brother is one we consider as a “landscape iris.” The dense foliage clumps it forms are excellent vertical accents in the landscape that can be used in design much like we use many ornamental grasses. Growing 36 inches tall and spreading slowly to 2 feet or more in width, Caesar’s Brother Iris is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces and is truly stunning in groupings or mass plantings in larger landscape borders. It’s such a neat, vertical clump that remains attractive throughout the year that we have no problems suggesting it for use as an accent or in groupings in home foundation plantings. The perfect centerpiece for combination container gardens. A fine addition to purple theme gardens, bog gardens, rock gardens and cottage gardens. 

 

The Caesar’s Brother Iris is easy to grow when planted in moist but well-drained to wet soils of average to low fertility in full sun to part. Very low maintenance, we feed plants annually in late winter after having cut foliage back to the ground with an organic plant food.
