Bearded Iris roots will arrive with the foliage trimmed from the 2025 season's growth, and starting to turn brown. The foliage can be cut when you plant, but leave at least a few inches of old foliage on the rhizome.
Build up a small pile of well-drained soil in the center of the planting hole. 
Center the rhizome in the pile, roots down, and then bury it about three-fourths, leaving the top exposed. The tops of the rhizomes should be visible; be sure to spread the roots out below the soil. Planting Bearded Iris too deeply may result in few or no flowers.
Firm the soil around the roots and water thoroughly to remove any air pockets in the soil, which gives Iris a better chance of strong growth. 
 
Bearded Iris Light Preference: Full Sun, Partial Sun
Bearded Iris Blooms: Late Spring, Early Fall. Mid-spring blooms are followed by another late-summer bloom for two rounds of colorful flowers.
