Nearly an heirloom but this multi-award winning Iris is still highly popular today! The flowers of Caesar's Brother Siberian Iris are composed of deep purple falls accented by deep blue veining and contrasting white signals and are topped by deep purple standards with flowers held on sturdy 36-40" high stems in late spring. The deep green narrow foliage provides grass-like motion in the garden even when the plants are not in flower. Provide Siberian Iris with an average moist to consistently moist moderately fertile soil and they can be planted near ponds, streams, and bog gardens as well as in average moist garden and landscape settings. They generally keep the best looking foliage where they have reliable access to moisture during the growing season. Caesar's Brother has won the 1953 of the American Iris Society's Morgan Award (the highest awards given exclusively to Siberian Iris by the AIS), a 1936 Honorable Mention, and a Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant of Merit Award winner.
