Foliage is lush, dense and grass-like in mid-green. The plant forms a full, upright clump about 27 to 32 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. Many flowers are open at once in early summer. At peak the clump is covered in a crowd of ruffled blue blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSiberian iris prefers steadier moisture than lavender, so it fits best in a moister border or rain garden nearby, where its early-summer blooms can open just before the lavender begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun to part shade in average to rich soil and keep it well watered through the season, especially in spring and early summer.
