BEARDED IRIS 
CULTURAL directions 
Plant Bearded Irises in the sunniest 
and best drained places in the garden, 
ihey require the moisture but will not 
uo well in naturally wet soil. Do not 
use stable manure in soil intended for 
uearded Iris. 
Bearded Irises are shipped dry and 
should be planted as soon as received. 
,/ur plants will come properly trimmed 
and the roots pruned back ready for 
planting. Should the tops be dried out 
and the roots appear shriveled when 
the plants are opened, no harm is done 
as the rhizomes will start new growth 
soon after they are planted. 
Plant shallow so that the rhizomes, or 
fleshy part of the root lies in a horizontal 
position and is barely covered.
