Planting time. The optimal planting period for irises is September-November, before the first frost.
Planting location. Irises prefer areas with well-drained soil. They bloom well both in open sunny areas, tolerating hot and dry summers, and in partial shade.
Planting depth. Iris bulbs are deepened by 5-10 cm, after previously digging the soil 20 cm deep before planting. The distance between plants should be no more than 10 cm.
Care. Perennial irises are unpretentious in care. Before planting, fertilizers should be applied - humus, potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen. Weeding and loosening the soil are also necessary. Plants like moderately moist soil. They need to be watered regularly, but avoid water stagnation at the roots. Periodically, the flowers need to be transplanted to avoid rhizomes being pushed to the surface of the earth and a decrease in decorative appeal.
