What customers say
Customers highly value the Iris germanica 'Clarence' for its exceptional quality and robust rhizomes upon delivery, reflecting its premium cost. The primary appeal is the stunning, ruffled lavender blue coloration that perfectly matches expectations, creating an elegant garden focal point. Gardeners praise the plant's vigor and impressive bloom size during its main spring display. While the initial purchase excitement is high, some buyers are disappointed when the promised fall rebloom does not occur in the first year. This is often due to the need for full establishment before reliable second flowering. Overall, 'Clarence' is recognized as a beautiful, high quality bearded iris that justifies the investment for its magnificent spring performance and potential for a bonus autumn show.
