Care Instructions:

• Light: The Garden Time iris thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce its vibrant blooms. A sunny location will encourage healthy growth and vibrant flower production.
• Watering: While irises are relatively drought-tolerant once established, they perform best when watered regularly, especially during dry spells. Be sure to water deeply, encouraging strong root development. However, avoid over-watering, as irises do not like to sit in soggy soil.
• Temperature: Hardy in USDA Zones 3-9, the Garden Time iris can thrive in a range of climates, from cold winters to warm summers. It performs best in areas with cold winters and warm, dry summers, where it can fully benefit from both the chill of winter and the warmth of the growing season.
• Soil: Irises prefer well-draining, fertile soil. Ideally, the soil should be slightly acidic to neutral in pH. To ensure good drainage, amend heavy or clay-based soil with compost or sand. The soil should not hold excess moisture, as too much water can lead to root rot.
• Maintenance: After the blooms have faded, deadhead the spent flowers to encourage new growth and prevent the plant from putting energy into seed production. Once the leaves begin to yellow in late fall, trim them back to clean up the plant. Divide the rhizomes every 3-4 years to prevent overcrowding and maintain the health and vigor of the plant.
• Division: To maintain strong growth and prevent overcrowding, divide your Garden Time irises every 3-4 years. The best time to divide them is in late summer or early fall, once the blooming cycle has ended. Each division should have a healthy fan of leaves and roots, and the divisions should be spaced 12-18 inches apart when replanting.

Shipping and Planting Details:

• Shipped as Rhizomes: The Garden Time Bearded Iris is shipped as bare-root rhizomes. These high-quality rhizomes are ready for planting as soon as they arrive and are carefully selected for their ability to grow strong and bloom beautifully.
• Planting Instructions:
  1. Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil.
  2. Dig a hole deep enough to accommodate the rhizome, ensuring that the top of the rhizome is just above the soil surface.
  3. Spread the roots out in the hole and position the rhizome correctly.
  4. Space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to allow them room to grow and spread.
  5. Water the plants thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the rhizomes.
  6. Apply a light layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture, but avoid covering the rhizomes.
