"Just as the daffodils are Galway up, these little irises begin blooming. What a show!"
"We planted two kinds of iris bulbs in large containers on a large outdoors balcony, about a dozen + in each. When they grew and bloomed they were lovely. Only a few did, though, and we wonder was it too wet this winter? We make flourishing flower garden there all summer into the Fall, grow morning glories, portulaca from our seeds, and perennial moon flower, 'butterfly' bush, roses, cosmos, etc"
"Each iris is like a fancy, earthbound, miniature silk kite that reminds me of a Chinese dragon head! All flutters and fanfare and streaking colors! They seem to be in motion even when stI'll, like a pinwheel on a breezeless day. I like to plant these near Dutch crocus and iris histriodes george, as they all come up about the same time and all those purples and yellows set each other off so beautifully. You may have a few pansies still blooming, too, if the winter has been mild. . . I planted these mid January of this year. I didn't have any hopes that they would bloom until the following spring, I was simply putting them in the ground for future years. So imagine my surprise when in early March they made their big show! I planted on a sunny, rock-backed, dry slope in alkaline, unamended soil. I planted among already established perennials, using my cobrahead weeder to make a little hole and then pushed in each one. I chose this spot because it needed some early spring color, everything else was dormant until the weather became much warmer. I also chose them because they don't need to be deeply planted, so I didn't disturb the roots of the existing plants much. Anyway, this is a long way to say that I highly recommend the short little beauties! I love a hardy plant that naturalizes, is unique and puts on a show when almost everything else is sound asleep."
"These bulbs pop at a very early time in spring when you need a lift in your spirits. I use them on corners to come up through Nepeta that is still brown and sleeping. After the flowers are gone up spring leaves that look like antennae sprouting higher than the nepetia."
"Looked very strange in the garden blooming--such a short little plant. All bulbs came up. Next time I would plant some in a big pot. A groundcover would help make these less stark."
"These lovelies bloom alongside my crocuses every spring, and I couldn't be happier with them. They have interesting, spiky foliage that doesn't dominate a planting when it starts dying down, and they are done blooming once the muscari start taking center stage. I have heavy soils, I'm in zone 5/6, and they get a little extra water besides the 10-15 inches I get per year. The flowers themselves are beautiful small irises."
"These little irises were the first to bloom in my garden and lasted well."
"Along with some very early crocuses, these are my first blooms every year. People always stop to comment on them, and they really brighten up those last dreary days of winter. For a spring bulb, I couldn't ask for better foliage. It is spiky, so it pokes up through the winter debris; it is strong and healthy, so it doesn't flop around on other plants; and when it turns yellow, it easily pulls out of the ground for clean-up. I love irises, and these are my favorites. I grow them in all my full sun to part sun perennial beds. They have withstood my harsh garden growing conditions for a few years now, and they are still going strong."
Early spring blooming. A particularly strong spreader in the garden, 'Harmony' will create a carpet of bright blue in just a few seasons.
