Even a #1 rhizome may take a couple years of building energy before delivering years of reliable, low-maintenance perennial color. KickStart Iris are guaranteed to bloom in year one. Plus, they're already developing more stems for year two... or divide and share them with an envious friend. Also, we only selected reblooming iris varieties for this series, so no matter if you create a mass planting of Blatant, or surround it with other KickStart varieties, you'll have an extra-long iris season to look forward to.

Catch a Star German Bearded Iris is an unmatched celestial beauty. This marvelously large iris reaches for the sky at a towering 41 inches. You'll be impressed not only by its height but its bloom size, as Catch a Star produces flowers six to seven inches across. Each is exquisitely shaped with opulent ruffling and fluting at the edges of every petal. A dream in moonlight white with bright orange beards on the falls, this award–winning iris is truly one–of–a–kind. Plant Catch a Star in the back of a border or use it to line a dreamy path. Iris germanica 'Catch a Star'
