Iris Varieties
Iris bearded
Bearded Iris is a hardy, long-lived perennial that require a minimum of maintenance. There are miniatures, dwarf, intermediateborder and tall varieties. Iris have thick, fleshy, underground stems (called rhizomes) that store food produced by the sword-shaped, semi-evergreen leaves. The rhizomes grow best when planted at or slightly below the soil surface with feeder roots penetrating the soil below. Best planted in the fall. Fertilize iris for best results, scatter around the plants, not directly on them. Planting too deep will result in poor or no flowering. Iris have several problems, such as iris borer and bacterial rot. Consult Master Gardeners or the Iris Society for my help with problems. There are many kinds of iris, most familiar are the bearded iris.
