It's been my experience that some iris grow well, everywhere.....some don't seem to grow ,anywhere.....and most, fall in between , someplace
. Often, just moving the plant from one location, to the "other side of the garden", will be enough to do the trick....maybe more...or sometimes, less, sun, slightly different soil, more protection from winter winds....all these things can be the difference between ,"it won't grow , at all!, " and "It's a WEED !"
As you grow them, you'll soon figure out what each one likes the best.....even the old "rule" about planting depth needs broken, sometimes, and, while it's NOT generally a "good thing", some mulch, in some areas, can work wonders sometimes...and some seasons, as well.
The articles you see ,here, and on vendors web pages, and on the AIS site, concerning iris culture, are good "general" information....and a good *starting place*, but, each of us has slightly different soils, and climates, so things need to be "fine tuned" for OUR gardens.
