- Clear pink color with classic iris form
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.
This Miniature German iris is ideal as a front border plant. With low-growing, grey-green foliage, you'll have great substance that will stay upright and attractive for most of the season. Miniature German iris won't lose any of the impact of the standard size German iris flower form—they're equally as lovely, just in a miniature size. This is a useful quality, not just in front of other taller plants, but also if you have limited space in your garden.
