Butter and Sugar Siberian Iris

Iris sibirica 'Butter and Sugar'

← All Iris varieties

Cream-white standards over butter-yellow falls. The first dependable yellow-and-white Siberian iris ever introduced.

Dangerous to cats

Toxic to cats and dogs, the rhizome most of all. Vomiting, drooling and diarrhoea are the usual signs.

Handle with care

The rhizomes irritate skin and are the most poisonous part if eaten. Wear gloves to lift or divide a clump.
