What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly adore the 'Dangerous Mood' Bearded Iris for its stunning, dramatic aesthetic. The deep, velvety coloration, often near black or intense purple, creates a high impact focal point. Reviewers frequently praise the quality of the rhizomes received, noting they are robust and healthy upon arrival. The main point of caution involves establishment time; some new gardeners express disappointment when the iris does not bloom the first season, which is typical for this perennial. A few isolated reports mention color variation from the expected dramatic hue. Overall, the plant is highly valued for its unique beauty and strong initial quality, provided buyers understand the patience required for its spectacular dark display to emerge.
