I read in an earlier forum that one person puts a handful of bonemeal in the hole, mixes it in and then places the iris rhizome. My wife thought I was using too much bonemeal. I read other places about the use of bonemeal including the bag. lol According to most places I would be using way too much by putting a handful in the bottom of a hole, mixing in etc.

I am totally NEW to Irises but I really want the beautiful blossoms some day. I don't want to kill these beauties. I'm sure you know what I mean. If anyone has some helpful advice I would appreciate it. I know it's pretty late to be planting but I would rather they were in/on the ground and not sitting in a box or bag in the house.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
