    Hi all -

    I added one Snow Queen Siberian Iris to my Bluestone order last Spring as an experiment because it was 50% off & they said it could take sun or shade, even very moist soil, & deer don't like it. That was enough to get me to try it since most of my yard is shady, some is quite moist and, yes, we have deer.

    I followed the planting directions then didn't expect to see anything till next year cause I've read they can take a while to establish, but I noticed the foliage getting taller & taller so I've been keeping an eye on it. It got one bloom then suddenly, yesterday, it started to open. By today it was really starting to look like an Iris!

    I don't know much about them & I haven't found a lot of information yet, though I've only just started looking. Bluestone says it reblooms. There weren't any comments in Plant Files. Do these get one flower per plant or should I expect more blooms? Do they come back every year? Multiply?

    Any information would be helpful. I really think it's going to be beautiful & might want to plant more.

    Thanks!!
