| Soil Requirement | Provide well-draining, fertile, neutral to slightly acidic soil. Loosen the soil to a depth of 12 to 15 inches, then mix in compost or aged manure. Good drainage is critical: Irises prefer “wet feet, but dry knees.” They will not tolerate wet soil in winter. |
| Environment | Irises plant bloom best in full sun, require at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. They can tolerate as little as half a day of sun, but it’s not ideal. Without enough light, they won’t bloom well. Bearded irises must not be shaded out by other plants. |
| Watering | Specific watering information depends on your climate and your soil, but keep in mind that deep watering at long intervals is better than more frequent shallow waterings. Once established, Iris normally don’t need to be watered except in arid areas. Over-watering is a common error. |
