Growing at a glance…
Take some care to prevent slugs and snails from attacking the iris once planted. Most Iris can naturalise well if left undisturbed or alternatively bulbs can be lifted and separated in Autumn. After flowering feed with a high potash fertiliser to encourage large bulbs to form.Plant on arrival in full sun or in partial shade. They will thrive in moist and relatively fertile soil.
