Planting Irises

Plant in full sun (6 - 8 hours daily), in a well drained section of your garden with good air circulation. Typical spacing is 12 to 24 inches apart. Water plants when the top 3 inches of soil begins to dry out. Over watering of Irises is a common mistake. Less frequent deep watering is better than frequent shallow watering.

Fertilizing Irises

Established plants may benefit from spring fertilizing. Use a blend that is not high in nitrogen such as 5-10-10 or 10-10-10. To prevent over crowding, divide plants every 3 to 5 years.
