The cultivar 'Careless Sally' has ruffled petals in a lovely blend of rose, blue, and lavender with a yellow blotch at the base of the falls . The stalks stand 2 feet tall with 3 to 5 blooms on each stalk . It blooms in mid season and may rebloom . The thin, grass like foliage remains a highlight throughout the summer . Siberian irises lack the “beard” of colored hairs at the base of each fall that other iris groups have . Typically these irises grow together in thick clumps which keep out weeds. In 2003 Careless Sally received the Morgan wood Medal which is the highest special award given to a Siberian iris by the American Iris Society.
