Description
Iris siberica 'Chartreuse Bounty' owes its name to its large spring flowers, which are both white and chartreuse, a particularly invigorating yellow-green. Enhance your flower beds, borders, and water features with this bright variety. Siberian irises adapt to any soil that is not too dry, with a preference for moist to wet soils. They are also easy to grow.
Iris sibirica is a rhizomatous perennial plant from the Iridaceae family. In its natural state, this deciduous plant grows on heathlands and moist meadows in central and eastern Europe, northeastern Turkey, and Russia. In France, it is considered an endangered and protected species. The varieties offered are mainly the result of hybridisation between I. sibirica and I. sanguinea. Their flowers are usually larger and display a great diversity of colours.
Iris sibirica 'Chartreuse Bounty' was obtained in 1883 by Curruer McEwen. This robust perennial forms a clump of linear, upright leaves, about 50 to 60cm (20 to 24in) tall. In May-June, bright bicoloured flowers emerge from the clump, measuring 80cm (32in) tall. The 3 sepals are cream, marbled with chartreuse, a yellow tending towards green. The 3 petals and stigmas are white. In autumn, its leaves turn yellow and dry up.
To create a mass effect, plant Iris sibirica 'Chartreuse Bounty' in groups or with other varieties with complementary colours such as Siberian iris 'Moon Silk' or 'Snow Crest'.
'Chartreuse Bounty' appreciates moist soils, making it perfect for beds with moist ground or for decorating the surroundings of your pond or water feature. In terms of soil, it adapts quite well and can even withstand drought once established. It will enhance flower beds or mixed borders in the company of other perennial plants that love moist soil. Create a white flower bed with Astilbe 'Avalanche', summer snowflake (Leucojum aestivum), and the herbaceous peony 'Duchesse de Nemours', which will create delightful spring bouquets.

Planting and care
Iris sibirica 'Chartreuse Bounty' appreciates rich and moist soil that is slightly acidic to neutral. In heavy soil that may become waterlogged, plant your iris on a small mound. Add a good amount of well-decomposed compost at the time of planting. If your soil is alkaline, add ericaceous soil to help acidify it. Even though the Siberian iris prefers moist soil, it can tolerate short periods of drought once established. Choose a sunny or partially shaded location. It needs its daily dose of sunlight (at least 6 hours) to flower.
As for maintenance, it is a relatively easy plant to care for. Simply cut the flower stems at the base of the clump after flowering and remove dry foliage as soon as it is no longer decorative. Cut it and leave it in place as mulch.
Planting is usually done during the dormant period, from late September to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost. In warm climates, plant as early as September, while in regions with cold winters, wait until late March or early April. In this case, your irises will only flower the following year. Plant the rhizomes at a depth of 3 to 5cm (1 to 2in). Siberian irises can remain in place without division for a good ten years. When the clump no longer flowers in the centre or forms a crown, it is time to divide. The ideal period is late winter, in February-March.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
