War Chief Bearded Iris

I received the War Chief Bearded Iris bulbs mid-September 2022 and planted them mid-late September 2022.
I had my first bloom mid-April 2023. We had some really cold and icy weather in Texas this year, so I was happy to see these iris survived. They are advertised as a deep red, but mine are a very deep, dark purple.

First year had 3 blooms!

Great to show your family and neighbors who didn't know red irises existed. Mine came up the first year after planting and bloomed a beautiful red brick color just like the photo.

The bulbs were dried and of good size.

Not as red as the photo, but beautiful!
