    • Bearded Iris need to be planted in full sun
    • Soil that drains well is essential to the health of your bearded iris. Amend soil with organic matter such as compost, manure or peat moss prior to planting.
    • Bearded Iris should be planted at least 6 weeks before your ground freezes for the year. The earlier in late summer or early fall you can plant bearded iris the better results you will have.
    • Bearded Iris are quite sensitive to planting depth. Plant so that the rhizome is partially above ground, typically this planting depth is 1-2” below the soil surface.
    • Bearded Iris will multiply over time, space according to package instructions.
    • Water the planting area immediately after planting to eliminate air pockets. Bearded Iris are sensitive to rotting, any additional water in fall or winter is not required.

    The bulbs arrived quickly so I could get them into the ground before the weather changed. Next spring will tell if the irises will grow and flower.

    I received the bulb in August and promptly planted it in my Iris bed. To date it has not grown any leaves or shown any sign of being viable. Hope it is growing roots or something as I will be very disappointed if I don't have a plant coming out of the ground next spring...with a flower!
