HOW TO PLANT AN IRIS 
This drawing shows how an Iris plant 
should be prepared for planting. We cut 
hack the foliage to about 6 inches before 
shipping. Spread the roots evenly in all 
directions and work the soil between 
and around; then firm wtih the hands or 
feet. Continue this process until about 
two-thirds of the rhizome is covered ; 
leave the remainder exposed to the sun 
and air.
