Sheri asked,

I grew mine from seed and, like most irids, it flowered relatively young --
I believe four years from sowing. The corms do not get very big, as someone
else mentioned, but it still manages to produce a stem some 18 inches (45
cm) tall. Mine dry out to some extent in summer, but they get watered now
and then during general border sprinkling near their planter.

Tasmania -- and certainly hotter in midsummer!)
