What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the 'Pagan Dance' Iris for its exceptional quality and initial spring performance. Rhizomes arrive healthy, establishing quickly with robust vigor. The primary bloom is universally celebrated; the deep burgundy and apricot colors are stunning and true to expectation. Satisfaction is highest among those who experience the promised rebloom, viewing it as an exceptional value. However, the reblooming feature is inconsistent, particularly in cooler regions or with less than ideal care. This variability slightly impacts the overall value perception, as the premium price is often tied to the second bloom cycle. Despite this, the iris remains a superior performer for its spectacular primary display, highly recommended for enthusiasts prepared to meet its specific cultural needs.
