The German "bearded" iris
is perhaps the easiest to grow because they do not require particular
environments in which to thrive. Iris varieties that are native
to hot, dry climates will need well-drained soil so that they are
not subject to rot. Covering their bulbs in winter to protect them
from the cold is necessary if they are to bloom again during the
next year.
Iris bulbs should be divided every
three or four years. This should be done in the late months of summer,
after the iris has bloomed. This is one of best things about iris
- not only will they reproduce in abundance, but they can be shared
with friends and traded for other flowers with neighboring gardeners.
