FAQ about Iris – Classic

What kind of soil suits irises best?

Bearded irises thrive in well-drained, free-draining soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Avoid clay or spots where water stands, as this causes rhizome rot. Plant the rhizome so that its top is just visible above the soil, where the sun can bake it.

How often should irises be watered?

Water regularly while they grow in spring and early summer, especially in dry spells, but let the soil dry out between waterings. Established irises are drought-tolerant and need little extra water after flowering.

When and how should irises be pruned?

Remove the faded flower stems after flowering. Leave the leaves until late summer, then trim them into a fan about 15 cm tall and remove any damaged or diseased leaves. Divide congested clumps every three to four years after flowering.

Which pests and diseases can affect irises?

Leaf spot, soft rot in the rhizome and iris borers can occur. Remove leaves with brown spots, and prevent soft rot with good drainage. Check the rhizomes regularly and cut away any soft or damaged parts.

Are irises hardy?

Most garden irises are hardy and need no extra winter protection. Avoid covering the rhizomes with thick layers of leaves, which hold moisture. Irises in pots should be protected from freezing solid in cold, exposed gardens.
