Gabe - they are addicting little things. They lure you in with pretty colors and fast growing habits, then before you know it you are building raised beds for them, and.... wait a minute, that happened to me this year! *Blush* Hilarious! Hilarious!

Those colors that can't be found in their larger counterparts! And they fill such a nice niche in the garden.

That'a a good idea! I have 2 defunct wheel barrels that I painted in whimsical colors and use as planters. Never tried irises in them, but that would be really cute!

I grow the little guys in dish pans, wash tubs, zinc buckets, old wheel barrows, livestock troughs and.... In the ground. LOL

My AB's do best in pots because they never stand in water. My iris pots do not have trays and have very good drainage.
