This lot contains  5 Freshly dug Iris rhizomes.

These are chosen at random from the types shown in the photos and a few more not shown. These are all very hardy, heat, drought and freeze tolerant.

Extremely easy to care for and they multiply quickly.

Soil

Rich, fertile soil with excellent drainage.

Position

Full sun.

Frost tolerant

Excellent. Most popular garden irises are hardy to -25F (-32C).

Feeding

Topdress with rich compost in mid spring, after new growth appears. Fertilize with a liquid fertilizer in midsummer.

Spacing

Single Plants: 11" (30cm) each way (minimum)

Rows: 7" (20cm) with 1' 1" (35cm) row gap (minimum)

Sow and Plant

Plant shallow, so that the rhizomes are barely covered with soil. Allow 12in (30cm) between large-flowered bearded irises.

Harvesting

Cut irises for arrangements as soon as the buds show good color; they will continue to open indoors. As the flowers fade in the garden, trim them off with scissors or pruning shears.
