if they are as good as they look, will get more
Verified Buyer
I have not seen theses bloom yet so I have no say on how they look.
Iris has survived winter but waiting on blooms
I got these last year and I hope they bloom this year. Still pretty small. Gave rating based on the fact the plants are alive but have yet to bloom.
Satisfied Customer
Scattered around the garden and intermixed with other color varieties, this is one of my flowers.
I will buy this product again hoping to have some success.
I plant hundreds of Dutch iris each year, some bloom, some repeat from year to year. I didn not see a Red Ember bloom, was saddened as I use the blooms for altar flowers for the church.

- Q
Will they do well in a large pot
- Asked by Ann
- Verified Reply - AngelaDutch Irises can be grown in a pot. In colder regions, we suggest placing the potted bulbs in an unheated garage or basement for the coldest part of winter. Potted bulbs don't have the same insulation as those planted in the ground.Was this answer helpful to you
