GLORIOUS 
RAINBOW IRIS 
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.
