The cultivar 'Plum Frolic' is a stunning blend of light blue and violet. The standards are pale blue and the falls have light blue centers which bleed outward to violet at the edges. It stands 27 inches high and blooms in mid to late season, while the thin, grass like foliage remains a highlight throughout the summer. In 2005 Plum Frolic was awarded Honorable Mention by the American Iris Society. 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 classic 'Fleur de Lys' which has been a symbol of royalty throughout history was an adaptation of the iris flower. The name Iris was taken from the Greek goddess of the rainbow to symbolize the many colors of this flower.
