Shaker's Prayer Siberian Iris
Shaker's Prayer Siberian Iris
Uniquely colored, 4" flowers invite garden visitors to take a closer look. Shaker's Prayer Siberian Iris features light blue-purple and white flowers, light blue-purple arms and yellow-red throats. They're stunning in cut-flower displays. A favorite for planting along the edges of ponds, streams and boggy areas, Siberian Iris are easy to grow, naturalize well and have a tall, graceful appearance with slim, grassy foliage. They grow best in full sun to partial shade, and bloom in June. Deer tend to avoid.

Wonderful
Planted these three years ago and they keep producing and getting bigger and bigger.
Waited 3-4 years but worth it; These iris require patience.
I bought Shaker's Prayer 4 years ago. I put them in on a well-draining, full morning sun partial shade hillside, Zone 6a, and nothing. The next year, barely a glimpse and the deer trampled them. The third year, I went to dig them up and wow! Not only were they alive, they've come in full force! Once they finally establish, they are tenacious and they fill in well. My experience has been to give them MUCH more time than suggested. Hope this helps!
Yes, I would buy this again.
I was happy to see the roots/tubers of this iris in good shape when it arrived. Time will only tell if roots are what I ordered and plants stay healthy to bloom time.
Hands down, my favorite iris!
I receive several gardening catalogs that feature dozens of iris varieties, but this is by far my favorite. It took a couple of seasons to get established, which is why my garden frog looks impatient. But now that they're in bloom, he's given up his gazing ball for the irises.

Rhizomes a little smallish but have blossomed into nice full plants. Waiting to see the bloom and will give a 5th star once this happens!
Would buy again
Planted at the lake. Waiting
Great deal on this cool looking iris.
These were nice root clumps still mostly dormant. I've got them potted up and they are greening up fast. Another spectacular-looking bloom I can wait to see in person.
I would definitely buy these again.
How wonderful it is to have received these three fresh live roots to plant! I've always wanted these because of their obvious beauty and I am so excited to watch them grow too!
yes
Arrived and I planted them. They are growing a little. so far so good!
