Description

A seed-started Home-Garden Iris (Iris spp.) suits garden borders and beds. This annual garden plant benefits from full sun and moderately fertile, well-drained soil from the beginning.

Start seeds in a bed or container that is ready for the crop. Water moderately and prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged as seedlings develop and remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy.
