Kickstart™
Raindance Returns German Iris brings soft, refreshing color to the late spring garden, with a bonus flush of blooms later in the season. Its light blue-violet petals blend beautifully with cooler-toned perennials, while a clean white zone at the center of the falls adds visual lift. Sky-blue beards complete the look for a calming, tone-on-tone effect. Blooming on compact 14-inch stems, this variety is well suited for borders, containers, or small garden spaces.
Soothing color with soft contrast
Each bloom is a “self” in sky blue, meaning both standards and falls share a consistent tone. A faint white patch near the center brightens the flower and helps define its shape. These colors work well with whites, purples, and silver-leaved plants.
Late spring blooms with a repeat show
Raindance Returns blooms later in the season, helping extend the iris display beyond the early bloomers. Its reblooming habit means you can enjoy another round of color later in the growing season with proper care. Each 14-inch stem carries up to three blooms, making a strong impact in a small footprint.
Ideal for small spaces and edging
The compact height makes this iris an excellent choice for the front of borders, walkway edges, or container plantings. Its tidy foliage and upright growth add structure even when not in bloom. Despite its size, the flower form is full and well balanced.
Great for cutting and pollinator-friendly
While Raindance Returns has no fragrance, it offers strong visual appeal both in the garden and in a vase. The flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds, bringing movement and life to your space. At the same time, it is naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, making it a reliable choice for unfenced areas.
