JAPANESE IRIS 
Iris Kaempferi 
“The Hardy Garden Orchid”’ 
Unlike German Iris, the Japanese varieties enjoy almost unlimited quantities of fertilizer and 
swampy ground, but any good well-drained soil will encourage sturdy growth and amazing blooms if 
they are given plenty of water during the dry season. They come into bloom right after the German 
Iris and are at their best in July.
