A sunny position in well-drained soil is ideal for growing iris. Bearded iris rhizomes prefer an open position where the rhizomes can bake in the summer sun, without being shaded by other plants. These perennials require a very free-draining soil, so amend heavy clay soils with plenty of grit and well-rotted manure prior to planting. When planting iris, ensure that the rhizome sits just at the soil surface, as they are prone to rot if planted too deeply. Overcrowded clumps of bearded iris plants can be divided in late summer after flowering. Avoid mulching the rhizomes to prevent them from rotting over winter. Caution: Irritant to skin and eyes. Harmful if eaten. Position in: Full Sun. Height: Up to 90cm. Spread: Up to 40cm. Delivered with growing and care instructions.
