As is my experience with other bearded iris, it's unpredictable if they will bloom the first year.

I got these Nov '24 - they got healthy leaves through '25, but no blooms. This year they have expanded and I have a lovely tall stalk of flowers that has just opened, with another one on the way. I am very pleased with this purchase. Zone 10 A, Northern California.

I got these toward the end of 2024 and planted just at tne end of the year. (I'm in zone 10A, Northern California). They didn't bloom in 2025, but are blooming now, their 2nd year, quite beautifully. They started to open mid-April. Quite a lovely shade of blue/purple, with a nice scent.

my order arrived quickly. This looked good, nothing moldy or off looking. I will write another review in the spring, and give it 5 stars if it grows well. for now, too soon to tell
