The purple falls are reason enough to incorporate these brilliant blooms in your landscape. Then you bring in the strong color contrast between the standards and falls and it's simply mesmerizing—the color really pops wherever you want to put this Siberian iris. Enjoy a little patch of it in among your other perennials, or plant it in mass drifts for a radiant display. We suggest growing it near a stream or in a marshy, waterlogged spot.

This mid-size, green shrub is quite inconspicuous in summer, when it provides a delicate, green backdrop for showy, summer flowers. But when fall arrives, leaving summer behind, a profusion of extraordinary, bright violet berries decorate the vase-like, leafless branches and provide a dramatic color accent against a dusting of snow. A spring pruning is appropriate as flowers and berries form on new wood.
