Lestv said:Jen - (pardon to all of you who hear me say this often) if you have Japanese or Siberian iris do NOT use lime on them as it is poisonous to them. They like 10-10-10 and need to be fertilized again in the fall because their requirement for more water leeches the nutrients out of the soil quicker.

Thanks Leslie, I have heard that a time or too. I never put any around my Japanese iris. Now my siberians have had a dusting here and there and they still are multiplying like crazy!
