I've grown the species, Ipheion uniflorum, Spring Starflower, for over 10 years. Very reliable. I also put in some of the cultivar, I. u. 'Wisely Blue' and the hybrid cultivar I. 'Rolf Fiedler' a few years ago. They're more richly hued and both have the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Still, I think I like the species best.

Iphieons?   I love those.  Try star flower, I think that's one of their

common names.  They do wonderfully here.

Maybe not Ipheon, I was looking at common names too and that was one I
wasn't positive about.

Ipheon grew for you in zone 6? I didn't know it was that hardy.
I love Iris 'Immortality'. It's one of my favorites. It doesn't usually 
re-bloom for me, though. I think it gets shaded out by other plants.

Do y'all plant spring bulbs? If so, what kind and when? What perennials 


bloom
in the fall for you?
