    A known rebloomer. It's never actually done so here (zone 5b). It tried once, but the stalk was frozen off before it could produce flowers.

    This is a lovely iris. It re-bloomed the week of Halloween in 2012 and 2013 when I had it planted in full sun (border of zone 6b/7a). I moved it so that it receives brief mid-day shade in September & October. 2015 it re-bloomed In September & still has a couple flowers left October 31st. This seems to be a reliable fall re-bloomer here, although it doesn't always bloom in the spring.
