I am just thrilled with reblooming irises! While I don’t have this exact variety, I planted three others this spring. Regular irises take a year before blooming. The rebloomers didn’t bloom in the spring, but in late September (in zone 9 in central California, an hour south of Sacramento), two varieties started blooming. By then it had cooled from the 100+ degree temperatures, with average temperatures into the 80’s. By the middle of December, (50 - 60 degree highs) they are still blooming, and continuing to send up new buds. Amazing! We haven’t had a hard frost yet, but it has been down to 32. I would recommend reblooming irises of any variety to anyone who loves irises. I’m going to take out my old spring bloomers and replace them with rebloomers.

Reblooming plicata with dashing color! Standards are white ground with violet edge and overall peppering. Falls are white ground with a stitched purple edge. Pale yellow beards tipped purple. Dependable rebloom in late summer on slightly shorter stalks. HM '93.
One vendor has this plant for sale.
