Bearded Iris prefer to be planted in well-drained soil. To improve drainage, they can be planted on a slope or in a raised bed.
The tops of the rhizomes should be visible and you should be sure to spread the roots out as you bury them below the soil. Bearded Iris are propagated and planted as rhizomes, sideways-growing stems that shoot out laterally, just beneath the surface of the soil.
The rhizome type iris produce larger flowers and include bearded and beardless type flowers, while the bulb type iris produce smaller flowers are often used in rock gardens or in front row of borders to provide early color in the year.. . . . .364011234873!]0000000000000009783314144959!]
