About

Iris graeberiana is a species in the genus Iris, in the subgenus of Scorpiris. It is a bulbous perennial.

How to grow it

It is known as one of the more vigorous species, therefore is easier to grow the others in the subgenus. It is also hardy to USDA Zone 5–8.

They are best grown in well-drained soils in open, stony places or an Alpine house, but some growers recommend outside culture, if sheltered from heavy summer rains. The plant attracts birds and butterflies.

Where it grows

It is native to Tajikistan, and Turkestan (parts of the former republic of USSR) in Central Asia.
