I want to plant Irises on my garden. Are they hard to maintain?

Very easy to maintain. Take care not to plant too deep as they grow very close to surface of the soil. After a few years of naturalizomg, thin out and share with friends.

Irises are not difficult at all. They do well in mostly sun (6-8) hours a day. They need good drainage. Plant late in the summer (Here I plant them about the last 2 weeks of August. Their roots need to have a chance to get a good start before it turns cold) Crocus, is another very good choice. I love to look out and be surprised by a beautiful crocus pushing up. I plant these one or two scattered randomly throughout the the yard, out in the grass. After I've put them in the ground, I just forget about them and let Mother Nature, do the work. Research which Irises do best in your area, or go ask someone at a nursery....or get a few bulbs growing in some containers.

Love Iris. A great "plant and forget" plant. They do like to be very close or just on top of the soil like Trina said. Mine get full 100+ afternoon sun at the edge of the garden where they get water on occasion. When I ignore them they seem to do the best. A lot of ranchers in the area plant them along the roadside outside the corral fences. They get pretty neglected out there.

Not at all...don’t plant them too deep (they prefer that the bulbs peek out of the ground) and that’s pretty much all you do with them...divide them down the road when they get too thick

They do eventually spread! Make sure you thin them out after a few years...

I leave them alone all through the growing season and winter then in the spring I lightly rake out dead leaves. That is all I do except when I see they need to be thinned out.

What's the best way to clean pavers? I've tried bleach it left a white residue.

Can I plant Irises on pots?

No! mine grow like weeds. Actually, it depends upon your growing zone.

You're welcome ♥
