PLANTING & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Soil Preparation
Great gardens start with great soil! Soil preparation is essential for
successful gardening. Flower bulbs prefer loose, well-drained soil rich in
organic material. Start by removing weeds, rocks and debris from the planting
area. Loosen the soil to a depth of approximately 12 inches and mix in organic
matter such as peat moss, compost, manure, or a combination. This is
especially important if you are planting in an area with heavy clay or ground
that tends to hold moisture. Properly preparing the soil before planting will
keep the bulbs from rotting and helps the roots to access oxygen and nutrients
in the soil. This is a crucial step to ensure happy, healthy and beautiful
plants. 
NOTE: It is important to
store bulbs correctly until they are planted. Unpack the bulbs and store them
in a cool, dry place with plenty of air circulation, where the temperature is
between 40-70℉.
Bulb Planting Instructions
- Plant Dutch iris bulbs in the fall when the ground cools and before the first hard frost. Outside temperature should be about 65℉ or cooler.
- Select a well-drained location that receives full sun.
- Dig a hole 3-5″ deep in loosened soil and place bulbs in the hole. Bulbs should be spaced about 4-6″ apart. Plant them in the ground with their pointy ends up.
- Cover with soil and water well so the soil above the bulb settles.
Ongoing Dutch Iris Care
Caring for your Dutch irises after they bloom is rather simple. Once they fade to yellow and dry up, do not cut the foliage, you will want to leave them where they are to absorb the sunlight that helps produce the energy needed for next years blooms. They should bloom again the following spring. If desired, you can also divide your irises. It is recommended to do so every three to five years. To do this, take a trowel and carefully dig around the bed of the plant. You should find a collection of bulbs. Dig them up and gently separate with your hands. You can replant some of them in the same spot and others in new locations right away. Please note, they may take several years to mature.
