Features of Genus: |
| |
There are many species of irises, which have true
bulbs as storage organs, unlike the creeping rhizomes
of their larger cousins. The leaves are not arranged
in the typical fan of sword shapes like rhizomatous
irises, but are usually narrow and lance shaped, or
rolled. The flowers have a typical iris form with six
petals, three inner ones (standards), and three outer
ones (falls). Many bulbous irises are early-flowering
dwarf forms suitable for growing on rockeries or at
the front of beds: they are also excellent for shallow
pots in the greenhouse or alpine house. Other types
are taller and flower in summer; they are valuable for
herbaceous and mixed borders. |

How to Plant Dutch Iris Bulbs? |
| |
To plant Dutch Iris Bulbs the bulbs should be planted with the nose of the bulb upward (or the roots facing downwards) and the Spring Time Reticulata Iris should be planted roughly 4-5" deep and 2-4" apart from one another.
Note: For some bulbs you may not be able to tell which way is up or down, in these cases just plant them on their side and they will adjust on their own.

When to Plant Spring Time Reticulata Iris? |
