About the Product

Wish Me Luck is a cheerful yellow Siberian iris with large, ruffled 4-inch flowers: yellow falls under lighter yellow upright petals. The blooms are held above the foliage on well-branched stems for a long-lasting show early in the season.

It grows about 2 feet tall and 1½ to 2 feet wide. Plant it in a border, rain garden or near water, or cut stems for arrangements.

What it looks like

Large, ruffled flowers about 4 inches across with yellow falls and paler yellow upright standards. Flowers are held above the foliage on well-branched, upright stems, with several buds per stem. Leaves are narrow, grass-like and green. The plant forms an upright clump about 24 to 26 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. At peak the clump is topped with a cluster of soft and bright yellow blooms.

Growing it with lavender

Siberian 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.

Care

Grow 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. Hardy in zones 3-9. Cut back the foliage in late fall or early spring, and divide crowded clumps in late summer; Siberian iris is not bothered by black walnut.

How to grow Wish Me Luck

Iris · Iris sibirica

These irises are moisture lovers, not bearded iris. Siberian iris likes sun and moist, well-drained soil; Japanese and Louisiana iris want rich, acidic, wet summer soil. Blackberry lily is the exception and needs dry soil.

Hardy in zones 3a–9b

Spring or late summer to early fall in Michigan; fall is common in the South.

When it arrives

Your bare-root plant

Arrives as a fan or clump of trimmed leaves with roots (Siberian, Japanese) or a firm, knobby rhizome (Louisiana, blackberry lily). Keep roots moist, soak 30 minutes, plant at the right depth for the type, and water well.

Expect new growth in about 6 weeks after planting. Bare root ships March–May while dormant, with little or no top growth, and it can look lifeless until then. That’s normal. Siberian iris sends up grassy shoots in early spring. Japanese iris emerges a bit later. Louisiana iris can keep some foliage through mild winters. Blackberry lily appears mid-spring.

You won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether a dormant plant will grow.

When to plant

Spring or late summer to early fall in Michigan; fall is common in the South.

How deep

Siberian: crown 1–2 in deep. Japanese: 1–2 in deep, upright, tip pointing up. Louisiana: rhizome just under the surface. Blackberry lily: shallow, rhizome just covered.

Spacing

About 18–24 in for Siberian, Japanese and Louisiana; blackberry lily about 12 in.

Soil

Rich loam high in organic matter (blackberry lily: average, well-drained) · pH 5.0–7.0

Fix-it tip: Japanese and Louisiana iris need acidic soil; work in compost and peat. Siberian iris is less fussy, slightly acidic to neutral. Blackberry lily needs drainage, not compost.

Sun

Full sun (tolerates part shade).

Shade cuts bloom and can make foliage flop. In hot southern areas, afternoon shade helps.
