Iris Sibirica 'Pink Haze'

Iris-Siberian

Iris sibirica ‘Pink Haze’ — commonly called Siberian iris — is a clump-forming perennial valued for its soft lavender-pink to rosy-lilac flowers with delicate veining and subtle lighter markings, blooming in late spring to early summer above narrow upright green foliage. Its uncommon pink-toned flower color gives a softer look than traditional blue Siberian irises while still providing strong vertical texture in the landscape.

Type: Perennial

Mature Size:
Width: 18–24 in.
Height: 28–34 in.

USDA Zones: 3a–8b

Form: Upright, clumping

Light: Full sun to partial shade

Soil: Average to moist, well-drained soil; adaptable to loam and clay

Water: Medium; prefers evenly moist soil, especially during bloom

Wildlife: Deer resistant; attracts butterflies

Features & Landscape Uses: Excellent for perennial borders, rain gardens, pond edges, and naturalized groupings. Its soft pink-lavender flowers combine well with white, blue, and silver-toned companions.

Care: Water during dry periods, especially in spring and early summer. Divide clumps every 4–5 years in early spring or late summer to maintain strong flowering. Remove spent flower stems after bloom and cut back foliage in late fall or early spring.
