Surprisingly the bloom is 3 weeks earlier and this is the actual colour of this cultivar "C'est Si Bon".

Yes Khan sahib these irises thrive & multiply rapidly if given the right conditions mentioned earlier in this thread. If you want i can give you established plants of Cest Si Bon and Delta Star.

Sir at this stage they should not be disturbed. Perhaps dosage of potash may do the trick. In case if it doesn't work then they can be planted in ground around middle of April. Our normal garden soil mostly clay in nature tends to suit them. Usually a bare root Louisiana Iris takes at-least 2 years to bloom. Currently i have 17 varieties which are blooming on a consistent basis. Around 24 mixed new varieties planted in September 2013 without any tags may or may not bloom this year despite exhibiting growth and would inevitably flower in 2015.

If you want sir you can try some of my established Louisiana Varieties in your garden. Established plants can also be grown in pond as well.
