Description

Iris sibirica ‘Persimmon’ is a striking cultivar of the Siberian iris known for its distinctive copper-orange to rich warm-toned blooms that contrast beautifully with its slender, grass-like clumps of foliage. The cultivar originates from a hybrid background (notably an I. delavayi × I. clarkei cross, according to some sources) and its upright habit gives it presence in mixed borders or moist gardens. It offers the hallmarks of the Siberian iris group—hardiness, ease of care, and longevity—while bringing a unique colour twist compared to the more usual blues and violets. Gardeners value it for reliable spring performance and minimal pest issues (the Siberian group is seldom troubled by iris borer).

Exhibits a warm copper-orange bloom colour (versus the typical blues of many Siberian irises), with a golden-yellow signal on the falls.
Forms upright clumps of narrow, grass-like foliage that persist nicely beyond the bloom period and provide architectural interest in the border.
Demonstrates tolerance for moist soils or even shallow water-edge plantings, making it suitable for wet-border or pond-edge situations.
