What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the 'Haunted Heart' Iris for its exceptional and unique beauty. The deep smoky purple and burgundy tones are true to description, creating a dramatic garden focal point. Initial quality is strong, with rhizomes arriving healthy and viable. The primary friction point involves establishment; some novice buyers express disappointment when the iris does not bloom the first season.
