The Flowers: While they are most famous for their red or pink flowers with dark red or purple blotches near the center, they can also sometimes be found in blue, white, or salmon colors. How they grow: They grow from small underground corms (bulb-like storage organs). Each year, they produce grassy, flat leaves and slender stems holding a neat row of open flowers and buds. In the garden: They are popular garden plants because they are quite tough, multiply easily on their own, and can bloom reliably even in partially shaded spots.
Not native. they are very hard to pull out but a part of me doesn't want to pull them out. they have beautiful flowers and they only pop up every spring and stay until mid-summer. i dont actually mind invasive plants and animals that much as long as they dont harm the ecosystem
