I have three (smallish) pots of tall bearded irises. This is only the second year I've had them. Last year, I got a few flowers; they lasted only a week or two, and I didn't get any more for the rest of the summer and fall. This year the stems are about 8" tall and continuing to grow. But from what I've read, they should start flowering in early spring and last all summer.
Am I doing something wrong? They're in full sun. Is it because they're in pots (actually in three pots - should I plant them together in one large pot)? I didn't plant them as bulbs; they were given to me with short stems. I am using a good soil sold by my local nursery. Do the irises require a certain soil.?
I searched the iris database for this topic and didn't get any results. I hope I'm not posting a question that appears in a different thread.
Thanks
Melissa
