What customers say
Customers highly value the initial quality and vigor of the 'Califlora War Chief' rhizomes, noting they arrive healthy and ready for planting. The primary bloom receives exceptional praise for its striking, deep burgundy and mahogany coloration and impressive size, perfectly matching expectations for the spring display. The plant establishes quickly and shows good hardiness. However, sentiment varies regarding the promised reblooming capability. Gardeners in regions with long, mild autumns often confirm successful fall rebloom. Conversely, many others report sporadic or absent rebloom, especially in cooler zones. This variability means the iris is highly rewarding for its initial performance, but its reliability as a consistent rebloomer is strongly dependent on the local climate.
