Planting Directions for Bearded Iris 
Iris will grow well and bloom freely if planted in well drainea 
soil, and have at least one-half day’s sun. Dig the soil to a depth 
of about 10 inches. Bone meal may be worked in if desired. When 
planting a rhizome, spread the small rcots out, firm the soil about 
them, and have the rhizome, or bulb-like portion of the plant, just 
below the soil level, about one-half inch. (If soil is sandy, 1 inch.) 
Plant from 12 to 24 inches apart. 
Water well after planting, keep moderately moist until well 
established and growing. Thereafter, every 10 days or two weeks 
is sufficient watering. Keep ground lightly mulched and plants 
clean, so that the sun may reach the ground around them at all 
times. 
If your ground is in need of fertilizing, be most careful not to 
allow any fertilizers to come in contact with plants, as this will 
cause rot. The proper time to fertilize is after the plants are well 
established (late in winter). 
Divide and reset iris every three or four years (June to October).
