Care Instructions:

• Light: Bold Colours Bearded Irises thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to ensure healthy growth and maximum blooming potential. Plant them in sunny spots where they can bask in sunlight for much of the day.
• Watering: Once established, these irises are relatively drought-tolerant, but they do require regular watering during their growing season, particularly during the blooming period. However, ensure the soil is well-drained and avoid overwatering, as they do not like wet feet and can suffer from root rot in soggy conditions.
• Temperature: Bold Colours Bearded Irises are hardy in USDA Zones 3-9. They thrive in moderate temperatures and can withstand a range of climates, from cooler northern regions to warmer southern areas. While they can tolerate heat once established, they will appreciate some afternoon shade in hotter climates to protect their blooms.
• Soil: Well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil is ideal for these irises. They perform best in rich, fertile soil that is free of heavy clay. If you have heavy or poorly drained soil, consider planting irises in raised beds to improve drainage. Amending the soil with compost will also help ensure optimal conditions for growth.
• Maintenance: After blooming, deadhead the flowers to prevent seed production and encourage additional blooms. The foliage will remain green for several weeks after flowering, but it can be trimmed back once it starts to yellow in late summer or fall. Irises should be divided every 3-4 years to prevent overcrowding and maintain healthy growth.

Shipping and Planting Details:

• Shipped as Rhizomes: The Bold Colours Bearded Iris Mixture is typically shipped as bare-root rhizomes. These are easy to plant and establish, and will quickly begin to grow and bloom once they are in the ground.
• Planting Instructions:
  1. Select a sunny location with well-drained soil.
  2. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the rhizome, ensuring the top of the rhizome is level with or slightly above the soil surface.
  3. Space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and ample room for the plants to grow.
  4. Water the area well after planting but ensure the soil does not stay soggy, as irises prefer drier conditions.
  5. Mulch lightly around the plants to retain moisture and protect the rhizomes from extreme temperature fluctuations.
