German Iris 
Iris are most effective if planted three to a clump in dry, 
sunny locations and watered sparingly. The soil shduld just 
cover the rhizome and be well firmed. A small application of 
ground limestone and bone-meal once a year is beneficial. 
Iris may be transplanted any time the ground is not frozen.
