Planting Instructions

• Plant in a full sun, well-drained location. Bearded irises are rhizomes, not bulbs.
• Plant with the rhizome top exposed — do not bury it. Roots face downward; firm soil around each rhizome and water well to settle.
• In very light soils or extremely hot climates, covering the rhizome with 1" of soil is acceptable.
• Space approximately 18" apart for mass plantings.
• No cold period required — ideal for mild-winter regions.

Care Tips

• Bearded iris are heavy feeders — fertilize in early spring and again in late summer.
• Divide clumps every 3–4 years in August to maintain vigor and flowering.
• Watch for iris borer; treat promptly if detected.
• Drought tolerant once established — great for low-rainfall areas.
• Caution: Harmful if eaten.
