It grows here at my workplace in several "mega clumps"--the stalks are many, and they are full of flowers. Last year, the iris literally bloomed from February through almost to May.

'Celebration Song', TB, Schreiner, 1993: This iris has a spell-binding effect on me. Its colors are 'pastel perfect' with soft pink in the standards, and light lavender shades in the falls. Tangerine beards make it complete. Grows and blooms well, forming large clumps in 2-3 years. Dykes Metal winner in 2003.
