    • 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.

    Pros:
    • Hearty
    Cons:
    • Small
    • Bloom 2nd year
    This iris is a slightly smaller bloom and plant than my other bearded iris. Might just be the variety. I was hoping for more of a pinkish top but it’s hard to tell. Bloomed 2nd year. Bottom frills are more lavender than blue.

    This fall, I purchased a ridiculous amount of bulbs in hopes for an amazing spring presentation. Every year, I only order from Holland Bulbs and it doesn’t disappoint. I also order for my mother’s yard as her Mother’s Day present. All the bulbs were healthy and nice.
