I’ve dug up iris bulbs and thrown them in the woods on either side of my yard.
There are blooming iris in the woods on either side of my yard.
You can’t kill them!
That's what my mom says. She thinned hers one year and just threw some across the road at the edge of a cow field and sure enough they grew and flowered.
I'm trying to correct past iris-planting mistakes (in zone 8a, USA) and I've watched appr. 15 other videos re: irises. THIS ONE is the most helpful, educational so far. Thank you so much, this video is very appreciated.
I'm in Zone 8 a. Does it matter what month you replant?
@@charlescoker7752 The sources I buy from online, usually begin shipping in July (suggesting we plant them July-September to let the roots get well-underway before colder weather). THAT SAID, I have planted at this time of the year in the past (and will again now). I've had some of those (Spring planted) bloom by the end of the season, others did not. The worst thing I had been doing was planting the rhizomes too low. I've had better luck since I stopped doing that.
I’m caring for my mothers (she passed) and this helped me so much.
How many hours sun require for growth iris?

In all my years of gardening, I finally had blooming yellow irises because I watched this video before planting last year! Thank-you! :)
& they smelled GREAT!
That is truly heartwarming. I am so thrilled you had success! Some irises have such great fragrance. I had a variegated one bloom this week and the blooms smelled like a delicious grape soda.
Ah thank you for mentioning this! Now I will do this so I can have this toooooo.
You didn't say when
I used this advice and have beautiful iris blooming and ones of new colors - I didn’t even know my yard had.
I’m going to replant all my iris plants tomorrow. Thank you for answering all my concerns in one very informative video.
I am Bichitra and from Balurghat, West Bengal, India. In this Subtropical region I have succeeded in growing Bearded iris under shade cloth. They are healthy. Thanks.
My neighbor gave me some of her irises but I had no idea how to correctly plant them- until now. You were so informative, and the camera angle made it easy to see exactly how to do it. Thank you for this video!
I had a suspicion that the reason a few irises weren't blooming was because I planted them too deep, and your helpful video confirmed it. Thanks!
I have grown iris for years. I would have separated the two iris, cut off the mother rhizome & cut the leaves into a fan shape to keep them from falling over. The one on the left looks like it is two iris. You do keep the top of the rhizome on top of the soil, make a little mound to put the roots in the ground & I also trim the roots a bit.
Make a video.
and no mulch
Thank you so much for sharing. This was so helpful. 😊
What a great, thorough tutorial. Thanks!
I’ve a huge planting of irises that I’ve added to over the years, but stilllearned a lot from your video. Thanks!
One of the clearest and most helpful gardening videos I’ve seen- thanks!
Awesome video! Just purchased 3 potted iris today. Happy planting!!
I just love irises ❤
Thank you for amazing tutorial 🙂👍
Thank you. One of the best video's I've watched....very helpful.
Thanks so much! What a great tutorial, easy to follow along. 😎
I was just given an iris plant from a coworker and I just learned so much from this video!
Wow thank you,thank you, I planted my iris all wrong I never knew this . I will be watching your videos from now on.
Catherine, what an excellent video. Precisely the information I needed. You are a wonderful teacher, with very helpful visuals. I’ll be back. Thanks!
Iris was my very first plant given to me, and it has been my very favorite plant. ❤
Thank you for the detailed tutorial. It's difficult to find videos that really dive into understanding WHY.
Exactly what I was looking for. A friend gave me some iris rhizomes and I needed to know how to plant them. Great video. Thank you!
That's really helpful. I've learnt a lot about planting.
Thank you.
Very glad it was helpful to you. :)
Best iris video ever!
Excellent demonstration. Thank you, I wouldn't have had any idea where to start. The iris is so beautiful I want to give it a go.
Iris is one of my top five favorite flowers This was excellent not too complex step-by-step
It is September 17, 2021, and I will be planting irises in the morning and I wanted a CZcams instruction video, and yours was the first result of my "how to plant iris bulbs" criteria
and it will be the only one that I will need to look at. Your instructions are very simple, straightforward, informative, and very helpful! And because of your video I now know that what I had previouly referred to as bulbs are actually called rhizomes.
I'm an American living in the eastern part of Austria right on the border with Slovakia and the climate here is pretty much the same as upstate New York where I am originally from, so right now is the perfect time for planting irises.
I am now subscribed to you.
Thank you again Katherine. You are a WEALTH of great info on Irises!!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I appreciate it!
Excellent video , thank you ! I planted mine last year as per your instruction and iris did well and bloomed 😁
I’m new to iris flowers …. This year I’m smitten & will get more! ❤
Very helpful, thanks! I have a nice clump of neglected irises in my new location, so I appreciate this information very much!
Thank you Catherine for the best tutorial I have found and for including fan orientation.
I have seed pods growing can these be planted?
This was terrific! Thorough and excellent advice. I live in central Ohio. A friend gifted me with dozens of iris rhizomes she had dug up in her yard.....I am sharing them with the 20+ members of my garden club .......and will include this fine video of yours in my email to the group. Thank you so much!
Awesome. I watched another person a couple years ago and she did it a bit differently. Your method will be way more successful. Although my common sense led me to plant the rhizome at a slight angle, so I am glad that was a smart idea. Thanks so much.
Great video, you sure did a great job explaining all about these tricky plants to grow!!
Thank you... from South Korea
By far the best video on planting iris I have seen!! Living in the mountains of Colorado myself, my mainstay garden flower, besides native wild flowers, is a large array of iris. The advantage to this is that I get a great variety of various colors that bloom profusely and none of the wild critters eat them! (Definitely a problem for us mountain folk.). Thank you for such a good, clear explanation of the correct way to plant them.
Catherine this is one of the best explanatory Videos I have ever seen. I have just ordered 3 Bare Rooted Iris Yellowtail so I needed to find out the secrets to a successful planting before they arrive as these are the first, I have ever purchased. You have explained everything perfectly, I live in the North West of England County of Lancashire and we get more than our fair share of Rain plus Winter Snow & Frost. Thank You Very Much it's really appreciated.
Hello from my homestead in northwest Florida! Thank you for this video! It was chocked full of helpful information on Irises! The ones I put in last year didn't come back this spring so I just bought a new pot of Irises and this video will be so very helpful to the success of these irises this year I am certain of it!
Thank you so much for explaining this method. I have lots of iris but never had any flower. I will go and dig them up and replant as suggested. Wish me luck and thanks again.🤞
What a great teacher
Very informative, well-done video. Thank you!
Thanks for showing me how to plant my Iris.
I didn't know that I can have some that bloom earlier, & later, making a loner time to see them in bloom. Now, I'm going to get some more Iris that bloom at different time intervals.
This was a very helpful video! I am getting irises from a friend, but have never planted them before. I now feel confident I can get them planted correctly. Thank you!!
So glad it was helpful to you. Good luck with your new plants!
Wow thanks for an awesome video! I love the way you explained in detail step by step that really helped thank you again for sharing!
This has been on my list of todos for 3 years now...thanks for reminding me..
I just bartered for about 50 Iris plants. Hoping that they will be successful for my 1st time! Thank you for the great instructions. I surely would have made mistakes if I hadn't viewed this. Thank you!!!
When I see unique or different irises I don't have, I always want to ask the people if they want to trade for some of the different irises I grow.
Wish there were a guide as good as this for other plants
Excellent video and instruction ! Thanks so much !
Very informative video. It helped a whole lot with understanding the concept of these plants.
Your video is very thorough and helpful. Thank you.
Thank you! The Irises here at my new home need help and now I know what to do 💐
Thank you for solving the Iris Mystery!

Thank you for the great information. I received iris in the mail yesterday. Today I'll plant them....
Great! I hope they bring you lots of joy for many years to come.
One of the best videos/teaching sources on planting irises. I planted my first irises earlier this spring using various websites but now realize a few things I did incorrectly. Thanks very much!
I’m very glad to hear this. Thank you!
Great job and Thank you for going into great detail . I learned so much .
Thank you, that was an excellent video; succinct and clear.
I LOVE this video! Thank you so much for all the wisdom you've shared. I live in eastern CO in zone 5a, and I have beautiful iris and a box full of rhizomes to plant tomorrow. I've learned a lot I didn't know...you're so generous with your knowledge and time, thank you!!
Nice video! I planted my irises yesterday. Mine rhizomes was twice shortly, hopefully that's enough to get them grow. But that's how I get them from nursery. Thanks again for video
Thank you so much! This was extremely useful and educational!!!!
Very helpful, good explanation. Thank you
Thank you! My irises haven't bloomed in two years. So I will dig them up and follow your advice and try again.
Iris need direct rays of the sun to bloom.
I am algerian old doctor. Thank you very very much for this video❤❤
My purple and white Irises are planted in an old wheel Barrell and have not bloomed in 6 years. The risen are exposed a little and the leaves look very healthy, but I think they are just overcrowded. This was helpful in replanting them into the ground. Thank you very much.
Thank you for excellent video on Irises. I learned a lot. I planted some near hot tub couple years ago and had no idea what I was doing. They're luckily doing fine. My grandson loves them and wants to take some back to FLA with him. I'll share your video with his Mom..have a blessed week. 💯❤️👍
Thank you so much! That's so wonderful to share them through the generations. I love to hear about this. :)
Awesome directions. Thank you for sharing.❤️🥰❤️
Excellent video. Awesome job. Very knowledgeable.
Hi Catherine - good to find your channel! (I remember you from our days with CSU Extension!) My irises have been so neglected over the years, and they are still as beautiful as ever, so they are definitely a very adaptable plant.
Hi Holli! It's great to hear from you!!! I hope life is finding you well. I agree, irises are one of the most easy care plants I have. I'm glad to hear that yours are doing well, too.
Thank you so much. Excellent video!
So glad I found your Chanel. Thank you for all this information. Have a great day
Very glad it was helpful!
I have some unhappy irises overgrown by grass and plan to dig out and move them on our one reasonable day, temperature-wise, coming this weekend. Thank you so much and subscribed!
This was best video imo for irises
Hello fellow Coloradan. I love your video. Going to check my last fall plantings since I only had one flower this Spring.
Really great explanations - thank you !
Thank you for the video it was very helpful.
Oh lovely, a Colorado person. I just got a bunch of irises from my mom's friend. I already have one that seems to have survived the strange late snowstorm.
Thank you ! Excellent demo!!!
Thank you so much for your information it is of great help to me.
What a helpful video! I'm transplanting a little late in the season and have 0 iris experience but you've given them their best chance with your info! Thank you!
Did they bloom?!
@@emmasteward6071 no blooms this year, but the foliage is big and strong. I'm hopeful next year I'll have some flowers.
Excellent video!!
I planted 5 rhizomes last year and only one came up, now I know why! Thank you!
Excellent video; thank you!😁
Very good information, I have planted wrong.Thank you for the tutorial!!!!!
Thank you for the easy to understand information..🎉
Thank you so much for this video! You are a great teacher! Can’t wait to get out there and transplant my Iris plants.🪴
Thank u for the helpful tips to grow Iris
So helpful, thanks!
Really informative!
Surprisingly shallow depth! It looks like I could also just go by the start of the stalk/fan; so that maybe just a bit of white is _just_ starting to show before the dirt? BTW, Colorado, where I spent two summers in a music festival, is the most incredible place I have ever ever seen in terms of flowers and also wildflowers!
I always leave a good part of the rhizome showing. They love the sun. Never a problem
Thanks for sharing as I have learned something new and need to check and possibly adjust my irises that have beautiful, lush green fan blades that are over 30" that have yet to produce a single bloom in Zone 9B.
Thank you, your video was very helpful.
Excellent video. The camera angle was perfect, too.
Very informative. Thanks. I needed to know why only one was booming. Thanks again
Glad it was helpful to you. I hope you have great success!
Best planting video for Iris. Thank you and now I know exactly why I am not getting a lot of blooms or none at all. I'm going to dig up all my Iris and replant them. I've been planting too deep and mulching on top of the rhizomes.
Thank you for the kind comment. I'm glad this will give you a few ideas to try. I hope you get more blooms in the future.
What a great video. Thanks!!!
Thank you. Excellent presentation
Catherine thank you! This was so incredibly educational i appreciate you so much!
Thank you Ma'am, for this informative video for Iris plant. New friend from Philipines
