I am thinking of potting some iris for sale next spring. I have some odds and ends of extra ones that I don't want to toss out, so I think I might try potting them, and selling them next spring when people come to see the bloom. I haven't done that before, and need some advice.

1. Do I need to dig the pots into the ground, or will they be OK above ground, but grouped together?

2. Should I uses potting mix or regular soil?

3. How big a pot should I use for a TB? It would be nice if they would get blooms on them.

4. Anyone in zone 5 or colder ever done this?

Thanks, all responces appreciated! Smiling
