'Dreaming Orange' is a Siberian iris with pale, creamy white flowers and a warm yellow centre. In May and June it looks fresh and friendly. This robust, hardy perennial suits borders, natural-style gardens and damp spots.

About this variety

White and yellow are a combination that always looks bright and cheerful. 'Dreaming Orange' shows it in the fine flowers of the Siberian iris: the petals are creamy white, with a warm yellow glowing towards the centre. Several flowers stand on slender stems above the foliage and open one after another.

At about 70 to 90 cm tall, the variety fits well in the middle of the border. The narrow foliage looks like an ornamental grass and stays attractive all summer. Dark partners such as purple hardy geraniums, blue Siberian irises or purple astilbes make the white shine. It looks especially natural by a pond or in a wildlife garden. Sun and partial shade both suit it.

In the vase the flowers look fine and elegant, best cut in bud. As a long-lived perennial, 'Dreaming Orange' grows stronger from year to year. With six pieces you can plant a group that soon forms a closed clump.

Planting

Plant the rootstocks in spring or autumn, about 3–5 cm deep and 25–35 cm apart. A sunny to partly shaded spot with moist, even damp, loamy or sandy soil is ideal. Water thoroughly after planting.

Care

Keep the soil moist, especially in spring. A little compost in spring is enough fertiliser. Cut off faded stems and cut back the foliage in late autumn or early spring. If the clumps become bare in the middle, divide them.
