Siberian iris Ama No Hane grows vigorously and forms lush clumps. Its numerous flowers are pale pink with an unusual structure: they have no upright petals, but instead feature six broad, downward-facing petals. This gives the bloom a full, elegant appearance. Siberian irises are generally hardy and low-maintenance ornamental plants that thrive in moist, acidic, and nutrient-rich soil. They are an excellent choice for decorating pond edges or ditches.
