Siberian Iris 'Over in Gloryland'

‘Over in Gloryland’ is a tall Siberian iris with ruffled, velvety dark royal-purple flowers and a cream blaze. The American Iris Society records it as a 34-inch, midseason tetraploid introduction by Robert Hollingworth, first offered in 1993. ## Form and placement The cultivar’s strong dark color suits a sunny mixed border, where its height can rise behind lower spring plants. The [American Iris Society cultivar record](https://wiki.irises.org/Sib/SibOverInGloryland) gives the named selection’s flower pattern, stature, and introduction history. Its cultivation notes recommend full sun for best bloom and moist but well-drained garden soil, especially during spring growth; established plants tolerate some drying. ## Maintenance Keep moisture steady while the plant is actively growing and flowering, without leaving the rhizomes in stagnant water. Divide crowded clumps when flowering declines or the planting outgrows its space, replanting divisions promptly.
