In my Mid-Atlantic garden, 'Harmony' usually blooms in March, right after the early crocuses have faded. The ones in full sun bloom around 1-2 weeks before the ones in partial sun.
The bulbs multiply gradually every single year, even in my clay soil. Squirrels and voles seem to leave it alone completely.
It's a striking blue color that brightens up an early spring garden.

I have been admiring Iris reticulata in other people's gardens for years, always thinking I should grow some myself. Last fall I finally planted Harmony in my garden. Wow, what a lovely spring show from the vivid deep blue blooms.
