Perfect iris for damp spots
Intense, vivid purple coloration. Grows near a rainspout where nothing else survived. Likes a damp spot. First Flowered in second year. Prolific blooms in third year. Gorgeous waterfall profile.
Hoping for blooms next year
I received these bulbs in the spring and planted them promptly. They did not bloom, but hoping for blooms next year 😀
Not true to color
I purchased both blueberry pie and tiramisu this spring. Both took well to the edge of a pond, only the blueberry pie has bloomed so far.
Not one single bulb bloom for me
None of my bulbs bloomed.
My favorite flower ❤️
Bloomed first year I planted it and the colors are so vibrant! I am not disappointed. I live in zone 6A Indiana and I planted in the ground, requires no maintenance. I will be getting more for sure!
