#ProPlantTips for Care:
For best results, plant Decadence Tall Bearded Iris in well-drained soil in full or partial sun. It performs its best in low or medium-moisture soil. Plant Decadence in late summer into fall. Cover the mound with soil lightly, leaving some of the rhizomes above ground, and water thoroughly, but be careful not to overwater Irises.
Add a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch to conserve moisture. As the years pass, you will want to divide them and transplant the new rhizomes every 2-5 years depending on how closely they're planted together. Popular and dependable, it is an easily grown Iris, it spreads by rhizomes, so if planted this year, it will be even bigger and better in a season or two!
Information About Bare Root Iris
Bare root Iris are shipped as nice fresh-cut divisions with two to three fans of green tops. Keep in mind each Iris variety can have slightly different-sized roots. Container plants are well-grown in the nursery for several years in their container to establish a strong root system.
When planting Iris, which are best planted in early to mid-fall, ensure 1/3rd of the rhizome is exposed to sunlight with the roots buried underneath. Note, that it's best to cover the rhizome with a thin layer of mulch or leaves to protect it during the coldest months but make sure to uncover them in the spring.
