A fresh and eye-catching colour combination brings real lift to the border, with elegant stems rising cleanly from narrow, grassy foliage to carry beautifully detailed flowers in mid spring. The blooms open in soft blue tones washed with lime-yellow highlights, with delicate veining and speckling adding depth and interest, while the gently ruffled form gives a refined, natural look that suits informal planting schemes, wildlife gardens and waterside settings.

Iris sibirica ‘Lime Street Blues’ thrives in moist but well-drained soil and performs best in full sun, where flowering is most prolific and colours are at their clearest. The slim foliage remains tidy after flowering, making it ideal for mixed borders or naturalistic planting, and the lightly scented flowers are attractive to bees and butterflies, adding both movement and pollinator value to the garden.
