Huge purple blooms after 2 Years
Didn't bloom the first year, but the second year, wow!
1 bloom out of 5 - hopefully better next year
Verified Buyer
The bulbs that arrived were very weak and disappointing. One out of 5 bloomed this spring. Next year I hope they will be stronger.
Disappointed
Verified Buyer
Came up initially, but disappeared before they got very big. One got big enough to bloom, but only lasted one day. Am hoping they will return.

Blue means Purple, still beautiful
There really aren't many true blue flowers in existence. These are no different. Color is more purple but they are still pretty and grew well and bloomed the first spring.
Not Blue!
The photo of a bouquet on a deck in this product description shows the true color of these irises. All the others show them as being much bluer than they are. They are beautiful and grew well, don't get me wrong, but every single one of mine that has bloomed has been shades of PURPLE.
Bulbs were huge and healthy. Started growing immediately.
