- General Information about Iris
Dwarf Bearded Iris is the smallest Bearded Irise, reaching 18 inches in height. They bloom the earliest. They can be planted in rock gardens, or in drifts to create a colorful carpet. All potted plants cannot be shipped into Idaho from Idaho at the moment.
Iris Plant Care
Iris thrives in well-drained soils. Plants should be placed so that the tops of the Rhizomes are visible and the roots face downwards into the soil. Plants should be given deep watering every other day, rather than less frequent, shallow waterings. Once established, plants are drought-tolerant. Divide every 3-4 year. Reduce the number of clumps that become too dense. A light application of balanced fertilizer, about one month after bloom, will reap the benefits.
