Rambow Eris 
Choice Selected Varieties 
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.
