    I love Irises, but my favorite is the Tall Bearded Iris. It is tall enough to be used in the back of a flower garden. It also has such a variety of colors, you will never tire of them.In our zone 8, they do best if divided during August. I love trading and sharing. This plant just continues to enlarge your garden with such beautiful flowers! They make professional looking bouquets and are long-lasting. I heartily recommend them!
  • Posted by okus (Lincolnshire, UK) on Oct 12, 2011 3:09 AM concerning plant:
    Irises fall into several categories and do not all have the same growing requirements.
    Bearded Irises of all sizes like sun and are happy in dry soils. They grow from rhizomes.

    Dutch Irises grow from bulbs and can handle partial shade - they are more picky about their soil than bearded Irises, preferring a better quality growing ground.

    Siberian Irises are excellent garden plants from the beardless group of iris, easy to grow in most soils, and any position that is not too dry, but fairly sunny.

    Iris foetidus actually prefers to grow in shade, and is not usually grown for its flowers but its seed heads, which are spectacular in autumn/winter.
