Iris may be planted in any well-drained garden soil and should 
have full exposure to sun. They do not like much shade, but will 
endure heat and drought better than almost any other flower. Plant 
so the rhizomes (the bulb part) have the top partly exposed to the 
sun, otherwise if planted deeply they have a tendency to rot.
