This garden bursts with early season color and elegant, frilly flowers. Only two ingredients have been used: Siberian Irises (Iris sibirica) and Oriental Poppies (Papaver orientale). Easy to grow, both these perennial plants require little care while providing a charming floral display. Easy to replicate, this lovely perennial combination will cheer you up from late spring to early summer.
All plants are drought tolerant and resistant to deer and rabbits. They also make excellent fresh cut flowers that can be pleasantly enjoyed at home. Enjoy!
