I used this advice and have beautiful iris blooming and ones of new colors - I didn’t even know my yard had.
I’ve dug up iris bulbs and thrown them in the woods on either side of my yard.
There are blooming iris in the woods on either side of my yard.
You can’t kill them!
That's what my mom says. She thinned hers one year and just threw some across the road at the edge of a cow field and sure enough they grew and flowered.
I have grown iris for years. I would have separated the two iris, cut off the mother rhizome & cut the leaves into a fan shape to keep them from falling over. The one on the left looks like it is two iris. You do keep the top of the rhizome on top of the soil, make a little mound to put the roots in the ground & I also trim the roots a bit.
Make a video.
and no mulch
I'm trying to correct past iris-planting mistakes (in zone 8a, USA) and I've watched appr. 15 other videos re: irises. THIS ONE is the most helpful, educational so far. Thank you so much, this video is very appreciated.
I'm in Zone 8 a. Does it matter what month you replant?
@@charlescoker7752 The sources I buy from online, usually begin shipping in July (suggesting we plant them July-September to let the roots get well-underway before colder weather). THAT SAID, I have planted at this time of the year in the past (and will again now). I've had some of those (Spring planted) bloom by the end of the season, others did not. The worst thing I had been doing was planting the rhizomes too low. I've had better luck since I stopped doing that.
I’m caring for my mothers (she passed) and this helped me so much.
How many hours sun require for growth iris?

In all my years of gardening, I finally had blooming yellow irises because I watched this video before planting last year! Thank-you! :)
& they smelled GREAT!
That is truly heartwarming. I am so thrilled you had success! Some irises have such great fragrance. I had a variegated one bloom this week and the blooms smelled like a delicious grape soda.
Ah thank you for mentioning this! Now I will do this so I can have this toooooo.
You didn't say when
My neighbor gave me some of her irises but I had no idea how to correctly plant them- until now. You were so informative, and the camera angle made it easy to see exactly how to do it. Thank you for this video!
I’m going to replant all my iris plants tomorrow. Thank you for answering all my concerns in one very informative video.
One of the clearest and most helpful gardening videos I’ve seen- thanks!
I am Bichitra and from Balurghat, West Bengal, India. In this Subtropical region I have succeeded in growing Bearded iris under shade cloth. They are healthy. Thanks.
I had a suspicion that the reason a few irises weren't blooming was because I planted them too deep, and your helpful video confirmed it. Thanks!
I’m new to iris flowers …. This year I’m smitten & will get more! ❤
Excellent video , thank you ! I planted mine last year as per your instruction and iris did well and bloomed 😁
Wow thank you,thank you, I planted my iris all wrong I never knew this . I will be watching your videos from now on.
This was a very helpful video! I am getting irises from a friend, but have never planted them before. I now feel confident I can get them planted correctly. Thank you!!
So glad it was helpful to you. Good luck with your new plants!
It is September 17, 2021, and I will be planting irises in the morning and I wanted a UA-cam instruction video, and yours was the first result of my "how to plant iris bulbs" criteria
and it will be the only one that I will need to look at. Your instructions are very simple, straightforward, informative, and very helpful! And because of your video I now know that what I had previouly referred to as bulbs are actually called rhizomes.
I'm an American living in the eastern part of Austria right on the border with Slovakia and the climate here is pretty much the same as upstate New York where I am originally from, so right now is the perfect time for planting irises.
I am now subscribed to you.
I’ve a huge planting of irises that I’ve added to over the years, but stilllearned a lot from your video. Thanks!
What a great, thorough tutorial. Thanks!
I just love irises ❤
Thank you for amazing tutorial 🙂👍
Thank you so much for sharing. This was so helpful. 😊
This was terrific! Thorough and excellent advice. I live in central Ohio. A friend gifted me with dozens of iris rhizomes she had dug up in her yard.....I am sharing them with the 20+ members of my garden club .......and will include this fine video of yours in my email to the group. Thank you so much!
Best iris video ever!
Thank you. One of the best video's I've watched....very helpful.
Thank you... from South Korea
Awesome video! Just purchased 3 potted iris today. Happy planting!!
Catherine, what an excellent video. Precisely the information I needed. You are a wonderful teacher, with very helpful visuals. I’ll be back. Thanks!
What a great teacher
Excellent demonstration. Thank you, I wouldn't have had any idea where to start. The iris is so beautiful I want to give it a go.
Thank you for the detailed tutorial. It's difficult to find videos that really dive into understanding WHY.
Iris was my very first plant given to me, and it has been my very favorite plant. ❤
I was just given an iris plant from a coworker and I just learned so much from this video!
Thank you Catherine for the best tutorial I have found and for including fan orientation.
I have seed pods growing can these be planted?
Thank you for solving the Iris Mystery!
Very helpful, good explanation. Thank you
Iris is one of my top five favorite flowers This was excellent not too complex step-by-step
Very helpful, thanks! I have a nice clump of neglected irises in my new location, so I appreciate this information very much!
Thanks so much! What a great tutorial, easy to follow along. 😎
I just bartered for about 50 Iris plants. Hoping that they will be successful for my 1st time! Thank you for the great instructions. I surely would have made mistakes if I hadn't viewed this. Thank you!!!
When I see unique or different irises I don't have, I always want to ask the people if they want to trade for some of the different irises I grow.
Excellent video and instruction ! Thanks so much !
This has been on my list of todos for 3 years now...thanks for reminding me..
Exactly what I was looking for. A friend gave me some iris rhizomes and I needed to know how to plant them. Great video. Thank you!
That's really helpful. I've learnt a lot about planting.
Thank you.
Very glad it was helpful to you. :)
Very informative, well-done video. Thank you!
Thank you again Katherine. You are a WEALTH of great info on Irises!!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I appreciate it!
Your video is very thorough and helpful. Thank you.
Really great explanations - thank you !
Thank you so much! This was extremely useful and educational!!!!
Such a helpful video!! My irises aren’t doing well and it turns out it is because I planted them 100% wrong! Hahaha, I am so excited to replant and make them (and me) happy again
Thank you! My irises haven't bloomed in two years. So I will dig them up and follow your advice and try again.
Iris need direct rays of the sun to bloom.
Wish there were a guide as good as this for other plants
Thank you ! Excellent demo!!!
I LOVE this video! Thank you so much for all the wisdom you've shared. I live in eastern CO in zone 5a, and I have beautiful iris and a box full of rhizomes to plant tomorrow. I've learned a lot I didn't know...you're so generous with your knowledge and time, thank you!!
Awesome directions. Thank you for sharing.❤️🥰❤️
Thank you for the video it was very helpful.
Thank u for the helpful tips to grow Iris
Great job and Thank you for going into great detail . I learned so much .
Wow thanks for an awesome video! I love the way you explained in detail step by step that really helped thank you again for sharing!
Awesome. I watched another person a couple years ago and she did it a bit differently. Your method will be way more successful. Although my common sense led me to plant the rhizome at a slight angle, so I am glad that was a smart idea. Thanks so much.
Catherine this is one of the best explanatory Videos I have ever seen. I have just ordered 3 Bare Rooted Iris Yellowtail so I needed to find out the secrets to a successful planting before they arrive as these are the first, I have ever purchased. You have explained everything perfectly, I live in the North West of England County of Lancashire and we get more than our fair share of Rain plus Winter Snow & Frost. Thank You Very Much it's really appreciated.
Thank you so much for explaining this method. I have lots of iris but never had any flower. I will go and dig them up and replant as suggested. Wish me luck and thanks again.🤞
Thank you so much. Excellent video!
Thank you, that was an excellent video; succinct and clear.
Thank you! The Irises here at my new home need help and now I know what to do 💐
Thanks for showing me how to plant my Iris.
I didn't know that I can have some that bloom earlier, & later, making a loner time to see them in bloom. Now, I'm going to get some more Iris that bloom at different time intervals.
Thank you, very informative.
Hello from my homestead in northwest Florida! Thank you for this video! It was chocked full of helpful information on Irises! The ones I put in last year didn't come back this spring so I just bought a new pot of Irises and this video will be so very helpful to the success of these irises this year I am certain of it!
Great video, you sure did a great job explaining all about these tricky plants to grow!!
By far the best video on planting iris I have seen!! Living in the mountains of Colorado myself, my mainstay garden flower, besides native wild flowers, is a large array of iris. The advantage to this is that I get a great variety of various colors that bloom profusely and none of the wild critters eat them! (Definitely a problem for us mountain folk.). Thank you for such a good, clear explanation of the correct way to plant them.
Very informative video. It helped a whole lot with understanding the concept of these plants.
Brilliant, thank you!
Thank you. Excellent presentation
