Blatant's blooms grow VERY large, reaching about 5.5 in. across. The blooms are also fragarent and colorful. Blatant reblooms later in the season, and this KickStart variety starts the show a year sooner than the industry's top selection. 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 2 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.
