Common name reticulata iris Family iridaceae Life cycle perennial bulb (Z5-9) Flowers purple/yellow (April) Size 6" Light sun-part shade Cultural notes ordinary garden soil Another surprise bulb - the spiky upright foliage is easy to overlook, until suddenly there's those intricate blooms. We've had some persist in our garden for quite a number of years, and added some more last fall because we're so enamored of them. Ours have subtle color variations, but the basic scheme is the same for all.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston.
