The delicate pinks and blues will hold their color better with a little shade. Since the walnut trees leaf out late, mine get the spring sun they need to start blooming.

Since I just planted Spinell, I don't know how big it will actually get. My notes say 2', and that it should bloom in July or August.

Sprite is a short one at 6'' to 1', shell pink and a late bloomer.

This is last year's photo with an old digital camera. There's a lot of Schreiner Iris in there.
