I may have to try the walking Iris in ground... just a few to see how they do.

I have never grown the Spuria ~ it looks pretty.

Don't know why but the blackberry lilies and candy lilies have popped into mind. Their foliage is Irislike but the blooms are delightful and they reseed. The foliage will die down overwinter (unlike the bearded Iris) and are pretty. This year I hope to see some of these that will bloom purple.
