amazing blue color
what a gorgeous little flower had a few that were a tad on the darker blue side which made the grouping look awesome
So cute
I love irises so I decided to try these. I knew they were smaller but I was thinking shorter stems not smaller flower. These are the tiniest little detailed irises I have ever seen! They came up early with my muscari and earliest daffodils. They seemed very hardy and I made adorable mini bouquets for my neighbors In contact lens containers. I love them and can't wait to buy more colors!
First to bloom this spring
The deep blue of this dwarf iris is stunning at the entrance of our driveway. I shared a picture on a gardening blog and it was the most popular post of the day. These bloomed even before my daffodils...what a nice surprise!
Lovely

Planted last Fall, everything came up this spring. Just lovely, looking forward to them naturalizing over time.

I purchased two bags of 25 and planted them as the outer rows of the flower bed. Both rows did well, one 24 out of 25 grew. The other row 13 out 25 grew but I suspect that side of the bed received too much water as the snow melted and I need to adjust the drainage. Overall very happy and the neighbors all commented on the deep purple color.
Would buy again

Verified Buyer
good product
I will be needing more
I planted these little guys last fall and had honestly forgotten about them until I saw their little leaves coming from the ground.They are such a welcome sight after winter and they're the cutest little flowers ever! They bloomed before my snowflakes or my daffodils. I wasn't expecting that at all. My only regret is that I didn't get more to fill in my whole bed while we're waiting for the other flowers to hurry up and bloom. I will be getting more for next year.
