Dennis,
A few of the Garden Centers in Lexington used to sell a few of those,
but to get them, one had to hit the shops almost as soon as the bulbs
arrived. Sadly, I found these to be rather poor performers that were very
short-lived. That may or may not be typical of the species.
Although it may be hard to find, the MDB [Pumila] ATROVIOLACEA would
be a more reliable early Iris in your area. I had success with that one in
Lexington. When I moved, I sent it all north.
