Planting Tips For Growing Bare Root Rhizomes
nonviable plants?, contact us upon receipt for a one growers credit
* Have your Tall Bearded Iris shipped early so plants have time to establish
a good root system.
* Plant rhizomes in a well-drained soil that has pH of 6.5-7.0, acid soils
should be amended with lime
* from a Midwest grower "Soak rhizomes in a 10% bleach solution for 15-20
minutes upon arrival. Allow to dry before planting"
* Plant the finger-like rhizome
horizontally at the soil surface. After watering, 25-50% of the rhizome should
be above the soil level
* Water sparingly! Excess moisture can cause roots to rot.
Exhibition Quality Notes: Growing / Dividing /
Cutting Back Foliage
*dip all knives / scissors in a container filled with
rubbing alcohol, or something similar, between cuts
* cut back foliage to 4" in fall
3" Plugs: In colder zones keep in a unheated area
until ready to plant, they easily survive last frosts with ease.
