This is my first year of growing this iris. I am VERY pleased with the color! Perfect for my bed of blue and white flowers. I will add a lot more as time and finances allow.

Described as having the same color as that of Delft Blue pottery. Incredibly, it really does. Mine look exactly like those shown in vendor photos.

However, flowers seem to fade much faster than other Dutch Iris varieties in my garden; seem to be easily damaged by heavy rains, etc.
