Cultural Directions for. Bearded Iris 
Plant in a sunny well-drained location, not crowded by other plants or shrubs. 
The rhizome or fleshy part of the iris should be covered with about a half inch of 
soil, roots well spread and ground firmly packed about them. Where winters are 
severe as they are here w2 recommend a covering of hay or straw the first year; 
this helps prevent heaving due to alternate freezing and thawing; a frequent cause 
of winter losses. Divide every third year to prevent overcrowding, another cause 
of loss as well as inferior bloom.
