Not around here. Theres two species refered to as dwarf irises, Iris reticulata and Iris danfordiae. Just like orchids and regular irises, they're bred for their colors which can be dramatic. Though some of the iris's you see online labled dwarf are not like my dwarfs which are 4-6" on average when flowering. If you let them go and dont trim them back the thin leaves will reach 8-10" but are no where near that when blooming. I let all my irises dry down before trimming in the fall so theyre strong for spring.
for example..
