Iris sibirica 'Blue Snippet'

Iris sibirica ‘Blue Snippet’
(Siberian Iris)

A charming dwarf McEwen introduction from 1977, ‘Blue Snippet’ produces petite 3-inch flowers in violet-blue with matching violet-blue veining. Pure white signals add crisp contrast and brighten the center of each bloom.

This diploid variety blooms in midseason and stays compact, making it especially useful near the front of borders, along pathways, in smaller garden spaces, or in iris collections where a shorter Siberian Iris is needed. Its narrow, upright foliage adds fine texture after bloom.

NOTE: Due to the growth habits of iris, orders placed while they are in bloom, typically from late May through July, will be held until mid-September for shipping. This allows the plants to finish blooming and helps avoid shipping during the hottest days of summer.
