Description
Iris sibirica 'Spindazzle' is a mid-season Siberian iris with wavy, velvety, dark pink flowers marked with a blue‑violet halo around a nearly hidden golden flame. They bloom in May–June, on a very upright clump of leaves that remains attractive for many months. Appreciated for their graceful flowers and sculptural foliage, Siberian irises are vigorous, beautiful wetland plants. They are also adaptable and very hardy irises that thrive in good garden soil, kept moist in summer.
Iris sibirica 'Spindazzle' is a cultivar raised by Bob Bauer and John Coble (USA) registered in 2001. It is a rhizomatous deciduous perennial plant that forms an erect clump from spring. It belongs to the Iridaceae family. This selection is one of the many cultivars derived from Iris sibirica, native to Central and Eastern Europe and Turkey (but absent from Siberia), and Iris sanguinea found in China, Siberia, Japan, Manchuria and Korea. This iris 'Spindazzle' will reach about 80 cm in flower, 50 cm in leaf height, and the clump will spread about 50 cm. Its growth is medium, slower than Iris germanica. This plant has an erect habit, elegant in a dense clump. The foliage consists of long, narrow leaves of a slightly greyish green. From early May to early June, depending on the region, the flower stems thrust flowers composed of at least 12 petals above the foliage. The flowers open successively from the tip of the stem towards the lower branches. This iris spreads by rhizomes; its foliage dies back in winter.
Siberian iris 'Spindazzle' is perfect for the edge of a pond or a stream, or just in very moist soil, provided the crowns are not submerged in winter. It is also suitable for any type of garden that never dries out completely. It works perfectly in romantic, English, Japanese and even contemporary garden styles. In moist soil, it can be combined with many perennials that enjoy the same conditions: camassias, poet's narcissus, crocosmias, daylilies, astilbes.
Note: The wild Iris sibirica L. is an endangered species that must be protected. Horticultural "Sibirica" irises are derived from the hybridisation of different species of the Sibiricae series (I. sanguinea, etc.). Their flowers are larger than those of wild forms and come in various colours. Several hundred named cultivars have been registered.

Planting and care
Siberian iris 'Spindazzle' tolerates a moist position, such as on a bank, provided it is not permanently submerged. It can also be grown in ordinary garden soil, with a mulch and watering every fortnight during summer. It prefers an acid to neutral soil (pH 4.5 to 7.5), rich and well-drained. Soil that is too clayey, too calcareous, or too sandy should be improved by adding a good amount of humus (well-rotted compost). An alkaline soil can be slightly acidified by adding ericaceous soil or peat, pine needles, or flowers of sulphur.
Siberian irises need a sunny position to flower, at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. In the hottest regions, light shade during the hottest part of the day may be beneficial. It is best to plant during the dormant period, from late September to mid-April, outside of frost periods. In hot climates, plant in September. In cold winter regions, however, plant at the start of growth, in late March or April (they will not flower until the following year). Planting in August can be an alternative.
Plant the rhizomes of Iris sibirica at a depth of 3-5 cm. Siberian irises can remain in place without division for longer than bearded irises. Divide them only every 5 to 10 years, when the clump no longer flowers in the centre or forms a crown. Allow space for the clumps to develop well. Fertilise with an NPK 10-10-10 fertiliser at the start of growth and after flowering in June. On young clumps, systematically cut the spent flower stems to prevent exhaustion. On well-established clumps, remove the flower stems to avoid self-seeding of seedlings that are not true to the parent plant.
After autumn frosts, yellowed foliage can be cut back to 3-5 cm above the ground (and left in place as mulch). Alternatively, this dried foliage can be left through winter as an architectural feature in the garden, then cut back only in late winter, at the end of February, before the new leaves start to grow.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
