Bearded iris are so-called because they have soft hairs along the center of the falls.
In crested iris, the hairs form a comb or ridge instead. Most irises flower in early summer. Some—mostly bearded hybrids—are remontant, meaning they flower again later in the summer. Irises attract butterflies and hummingbirds, and make lovely cut flowers. For iris companions in the garden, look to roses , peonies , and lilies. When to divide? Do this task after flowering finishes and then trim the foliage back to six inches.

I explained the the plant would have to be planted with a bulb. She's been living in that house for over 60 years, but has no idea how the flowering plant got there. Any ideas. I might add that there is Japanese Knotweed also growing in that same area.
Thank You. I recently hired someone to come do a yard clean up and now after I broke my ankle and was unable to do any yardwork for several weeks. I was at work when he was working.
When I got home, I found that all of my plants, irises included, had been taken down to the ground. I'm now worried that my several varieties of irises won't come back next year. I have read several places that state when plant iris bulbs, plant them about 4 inches deep. Could you please clarify which one is right so I can plant mine correctly, please. Talking about bulb and not the rhizsome. I live in Northwest Arkansas. What is it and what can I do to prevent it?
This is the first year that one of them bloomed and has yellow flower with purple outer petals, and see 2 more buds that look like they are going to be yellow as well. Is this common? Thank you. My Iris plants have been in a particular area of the yard for 15 years and always bloom large yellow flowers year after year. This year I noticed I barely had any blooms. In addition, some leaves are brown and slide right out of the root with no effort.
The remaining leaves look unhealthy and not a vibrant green as in years past. At first I thought it might be cicada related, but have since thought otherwise. These are beautiful flowers and I fear losing them.
What are steps I can take to begin assessing the cause and save the plants? From our friends at the cooperative extension in Connecticut: Individual flowers should be deadheaded, leaving any unopened buds on the stem. Spent blooms look soggy and unattractive and will form seed pods if left on their stems. Seed pods should be removed. When all the flowers have blossomed, cut the stalk down to where it emerges from the leaves. Do not remove green leaves as they provide nutrition for the plant but they can be cut back to the ground when they turn brown.
Cut all foliage down to 1 to 2 inches after a killing frost in the fall and remove all debris from area. I transplanted a few purple and white irises from my mother's garden. They came up fine, but they came up a very drab brownish color. My mom's were always a beautiful bright white and purple color. Is my soil bad? It is not likely that your soil is bad, and, for the record, iris colors will not change based on soil pH like hydrangeas will.
What often happens is that one cultivar is tougher than the others and eventually takes over a bed. Then the resulting color is all the dominant plants. One solution is to thin out the bed and replace with some of the other colors and they should be fine.
This year, our dwarf iris stalks came up curved in all directions. Most of the blooms do not looks healthy. We just laid down lime. Is it possible that some of the lime sprayed into the iris bed? Thank you! A lady in my church said they only bloom every 4 years. Please advise. So far, they have green stalks, but no blooms yet. I'm in NJ. Once again, our friends at the cooperative extension have an answer: There are several things that can cause this problem.
The plants may be too crowded. As the irises grow, the clump begins to crowd itself and must be divided. Another possibility is that the surrounding landscape trees and shrubs may have grown and begun shading the irises. Fertilization with a fertilizer high in nitrogen will stimulate vegetative non-flowering growth rather than flowers. Lack of water in late winter and early spring may also prevent proper growth. It may be a good idea to divide and replant your irises.
Find a sunny location receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Prepare the planting site by digging the soil deeply to loosen compacted soil. As you are turning the soil, add amendments such as compost and a phosphate fertilizer. If you use a complete fertilizer that contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, be sure to select one that has a high phosphorus content the second number of three large numbers on the bag.
Plant 2 inches deep in a prepared bed, 18 to 24 inches apart. Water in well and keep moist until fall rains take over. They can be transplanted almost anytime when the temperatures are below 90 F and above 32 F for a month afterwards. Soil: Siberian iris prefer lose garden soil enriched with organic compost. Ph should be slightly acidic, but Siberian iris will survive in slightly alkaline soils too.
Water : Once established, they are very drought tolerant but would prefer a deep soaking every so often. Constant moisture in warm humid areas will encourage crown rot. Light: Full sun with a minimum of 6 hours to bloom properly. Afternoon shade in hot areas will benefit bloom. Mulching: A mulch of 2 to 4 inches is recommended. This will keep the soil cool, retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilizer: Siberians are moderate to light feeders. A light application of a well-balanced fertilizer once a year right after bloom is beneficial.
After a light frost, remove old foliage with a serrated knife and destroy. Pests: Slugs and snails can be a problem. Either pick them off by hand or use slug bait if damage is seen.
Thrips and iris borer can be controlled with a systemic insecticide. We recommend Orthene, or Cygon 2E; follow manufactures instruction. Siberian iris remain one of the easier iris plants to grow; some beds continue blooming for decades without any division or insecticide, making a large sweep of blue, lavender, white or one of the new multicolors.
Nonetheless, they tend to bloom around the same time as bearded iris, not as late as the bulb irises. Perhaps no other iris is as influenced by good culture as Japanese iris. Demanding in their needs but if met they will reward you with tall robust plants and larger blooms. Hardy in zones Planting: Newly received plants that are bare root should be soaked in cool water for a few hours or overnight. Plant individual rhizomes inches deep, 6- to 8-inches apart.
Give a good to inch spacing between different named rhizomes. Water in well to start the root development, do not let new transplant dry out. Depending on your soils and weather a daily watering may be needed for the first week or two.
Planting in a shallow depression will allow you to flood irrigate the plants. New transplants may not bloom the first year. Expect your best bloom on 2- and 3-year-old plants. Caution: Do not use bone meal. This has the same effect as lime and can kill Japanese irises. Also, do not fertilize newly planted or transplanted Japanese iris as this can burn the roots.
Soil requirements: Japanese irises prefer a rich, loose soil with ample organic matter. An addition of well-aged manure and compost will help in water retention as well as adding nutrients. The soil PH should be slightly acid, ideally between 5. Water: Japanese irises do not like to dry out. Constant moisture will reward you with healthy plants and larger blooms. W et in the spring and keep moist all summer. They do very well near water this is where they naturally grow or where the water table is high.
The crown of the plant needs to be above the water line. Fertilizer: Japanese iris are heavy feeders. Depending on your soil a liberal application of balanced fertilizer for acid loving plants Rhododendron, Camellia in the spring just before or after bloom is beneficial. Most soils with heavy watering will usually need more nitrogen Ammonium sulfate applied.
Do not apply fertilizers to new transplants. This will keep the soil cool, retain moisture, and suppress weeds.
