Caesar's Brother Siberian Iris is a deciduous perennial with a clumping habit. The long sword-like blue-green foliage fans upwards. The rigid sturdy stalks that grow from the center of the plant are topped by beardless deep purple flowers in summer, attracting bees. Flowers best in full sun and rich, slightly acidic, moist well-drained soils.
