Frequently Asked Questions
What are irises, and why are they popular garden plants?
Irises are perennial flowering plants loved for their striking blooms, elegant structure, and wide range of colors. Each iris flower features an original petal design that adds beauty and sophistication to gardens, borders, and landscapes. Their long lifespan and low maintenance make them a favorite among gardeners of all experience levels.
How do I plant an iris correctly?
Iris plants thrive in sunny locations with well-draining soil. When planting iris bulbs or rhizomes, place them just below or slightly exposed to the soil surface, ensuring proper airflow. Proper spacing allows healthy growth and vibrant flowering year after year.
What are bearded irises?
Bearded irises are a popular iris type known for the fuzzy “beard” running along the center of their petals. These beards guide pollinators and add extra texture to the bloom. Often called German iris, they are prized for their bold colors and large, dramatic flowers.

An individual iris flower typically blooms for several days, while the plant itself can produce multiple blooms over a few weeks. With proper care, different iris varieties can extend your flowering season from early spring into early summer.
