About Iris, Bearded

Easy to grow, blooming May–June. Clump-formers, best in groups. Highly drought-tolerant; well-drained soil. Plant and weed only shallowly. The top of the rhizomes should be exposed, so clean soil off them in April to let the sun hit them. Should be lifted and divided every few years. See more Iris (Blue Flag, Crested, Eye Shadow, Japanese, Siberian) and Blackberry Lily and Candy Lily. And see a diagram showing the iris terms used here.
