How to Plant Bare Root Iris?

Published in Gardening 1 min read

Planting bare root iris involves digging a hole wide enough to spread the roots, positioning the crown properly, and then backfilling the hole.

Here's a step-by-step guide based on the provided information:

  1. Dig the Hole: The hole only needs to be wide enough to comfortably spread the roots of the iris within it.
  2. Position the Roots: Carefully spread the roots of the bare root iris out within the hole.
  3. Backfill and Ensure Crown Exposure: Fill the hole back up with soil. Ensure that the crown of the iris (the point where the roots and foliage meet) remains visible above the soil line.
