Place of landing

Irises are photophilous, grow perfectly in sunny places. They do not bloom in the shade, although foliage is developing. The site should be protected from strong winds. The irises do not tolerate excessive moisture - rot. The rhizomes of irises love when the sun warms them. In winter, the wind should not blow snow from the landings of irises, and in the spring - they should not be under the melt by spring water. It is not necessary to cover them for the winter.

landing

Light loams are the best soils for bearded irises, although they grow on clay soils. You can improve heavy soils by adding peat and sand to them. Sour soils neutralize with lime. The best time for planting bearded irises is immediately after the end of flowering. The leaves are shortened by the iris at 2/3, and the roots are 1/3. Previously, the mound of the earth is poured to the bottom of the hole, it is sprinkled with sand from above, and roots are evenly spread along its slopes, pour them with earth and tightly pressed with their hands. The rhizome should be located at the level of the soil, it cannot be deepened. The most successful option when planting irises is the orientation of the rhizome to the south, and the fan of leaves is north. In the winter, the newly planted curtains are sprinkled with peat. The distance between plants during planting is set by their future “growth”: for high varieties, the landing interval is 30-40 cm, for dwarf - 15-20 cm. Irises can be grown in one place without a transplant of up to 10 years (hybrid - up to 5 years), But during this time they will grow strongly. And the flowerbed is better to make it more spacious, since in a limited space the colors will lack nutrients, and the flowering intensity will decrease sharply.

Care

Care for bearded irises is periodic loosening of the soil, Weeding and top dressing. In the spring, after the snow melts, if the irises were mulched, the rhizomes should be opened. You need to loosen very carefully, since the roots of bearded irises are almost on the surface of the soil. In arid weather, irises are watered, especially during flowering. Other organic fertilizers do not add to bearded irises. They contribute to the development of fungal diseases and the rapid development of leaves to the detriment of flowering. Mineral fertilizers are needed for flowering. For central Russia, 3 top dressing is recommended: in early May, in early June and 2-3 weeks after flowering. You can use complex mineral fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
