Landscaping With Bareroot Iris

Bareroot Iris plants, just like their potted versions, add texture, movement, and a pop of color wherever you plant them:

• Create a vibrant border along fences, driveways, or pathways
• Mix into perennial beds for a burst of spring color
• Add to cutting gardens for fresh, elegant bouquets
• Tuck into waterwise and xeriscape gardens (especially Siberian and Bearded Iris)
• Accent ponds and moist areas with moisture-loving varieties like the Flag and Louisiana Iris varieties

Their upright leaves add structure even after the blooms fade, keeping your garden looking polished through the season.

How to Plant & Care for Bareroot Iris

Planting bareroot Iris is simple and highly rewarding. Here’s how to ensure success:

• Plant Dormant Bareroot Irises in full sun; they need at least 6 hours of light daily
• Prepare well-drained soil; heavy clay may need to be amended with compost or sand
• Plant with the rhizome slightly exposed, not buried deep like bulbs
• Water thoroughly after planting and then moderately until established
• Use the Finger Test to check soil moisture, keeping the soil lightly moist but never soggy
• Apply arborist mulch around (but not on) the rhizome to conserve moisture and suppress weeds
• Divide Iris clumps every 3–4 years to keep plants vigorous and blooming profusely
