The cultivar 'Devils Dream' has bold purple flowers in mid season. It stands 18 inches high with narrow grass-like leaves which remain 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. The name Iris was taken from the Greek goddess of the rainbow to symbolize the many colors of this flower. In 1970 Devil's Dream received the Morgan Award which is the highest special award given to a Siberian iris by the American Iris Society . This award has since been elevated to the Morgan Wood Medal.
