The Zesting Lemons Tall Bearded Iris doesn’t require much maintenance. It does best in full sun and some partial shade, and appreciates being planted on a small mound of soil where the water can easily fall away. It doesn’t like its roots wet or sitting in water, so well-drained soil is best. Once established, this German Iris variety is relatively drought tolerant! Cover the roots with a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch to hold moisture in the soil better and insulate the rhizomes.

Information About Bare Root Iris

Bare root Iris are shipped as nice fresh-cut divisions with two to three fans of green tops. Keep in mind each Iris variety can have slightly different-sized roots. Container plants are well-grown in the nursery for several years in their container to establish a strong root system.

When planting Iris, which are best planted in early to mid-fall, ensure 1/3rd of the rhizome is exposed to sunlight with the roots buried underneath. Note, that it’s best to cover the rhizome with a thin layer of mulch or leaves to protect it during the coldest months but make sure to uncover them in the spring.
