Iris sibirica ‘Helicopter’ – 2026

Iris sibirica ‘Helicopter’ is a striking Siberian iris that adds movement and colour to the garden. Its blooms are pale lavender to soft lilac with ruffled petals and a prominent golden-yellow signal at the base of the falls, creating a delicate yet eye-catching contrast. The slender, upright green foliage forms neat clumps that complement the airy and graceful flowers. When planted in groups, this variety produces a lively and elegant display, perfect for borders, naturalistic plantings, or waterside gardens.

This hardy perennial thrives in moist but well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. Flowering in early to mid-summer, ‘Helicopter’ is valued for its reliability, low maintenance, and resilience. Its blooms attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing the ecological value of the garden while providing long-lasting ornamental interest.
