Hi can you please tell me how to grow bearded irises ? I have been growing them for along time but some are more difficult for me , like the white immortality reblooming one ... Only blooms in late summer for me ..What is the best fertilizer? Soil ? And the best way to devide them ? Are they all really different in growing and deviding them too ?? I have a real dark purple someone gave me and it grows a lot each year., a dark beautiful yellow was doing great 1 year I got from "plant sale garden club"& it bloomed that spring /early summer too and it's doing great at daughters right now but mine it like getting smaller . they are all in raised bed together But might be too windy in winter here and I read not to mulch too much because of being wet ,so I don't know what to do about cover for winter either .i just put some leaves on them . Thank you so much ...sorry it's so long Melissa

Hi Melissa

The best places to get all the best advice on Bearded Irises here would be the iris forum, Iris Database and Plant Care section. Links to them all are here and I am sure you will find the answers to all your questions.
