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?
@@charlescoker7752
- spring time
- early autumn
I used this advice and have beautiful iris blooming and ones of new colors - I didn’t even know my yard had.
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
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’m going to replant all my iris plants tomorrow. Thank you for answering all my concerns in one very informative video.
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 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.
I’ve a huge planting of irises that I’ve added to over the years, but stilllearned a lot from your video. Thanks!
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!

Hello fellow Coloradan. I love your video. Going to check my last fall plantings since I only had one flower this Spring.
Thank you so much! This was extremely useful and educational!!!!
Very helpful, thanks! I have a nice clump of neglected irises in my new location, so I appreciate this information very much!
Wow thank you,thank you, I planted my iris all wrong I never knew this . I will be watching your videos from now on.
What a great, thorough tutorial. Thanks!
Excellent video and instruction ! Thanks so much !
Awesome directions. Thank you for sharing.❤️🥰❤️
Thanks so much! What a great tutorial, easy to follow along. 😎
One of the clearest and most helpful gardening videos I’ve seen- thanks!
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.
Thank you, that was an excellent video; succinct and clear.
Very helpful, good explanation. Thank you
It is September 17, 2021, and I will be planting irises in the morning and I wanted a TH-cam 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.
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!
Thank you. One of the best video's I've watched....very helpful.
Thank you! The Irises here at my new home need help and now I know what to do 💐
Your video is very thorough and helpful. Thank you.
I was just given an iris plant from a coworker and I just learned so much from this video!
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.
Iris was my very first plant given to me, and it has been my very favorite plant. ❤
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!
Excellent video. Awesome job. Very knowledgeable.
Thank you for the detailed tutorial. It's difficult to find videos that really dive into understanding WHY.
This has been on my list of todos for 3 years now...thanks for reminding me..
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!
Iris is one of my top five favorite flowers This was excellent not too complex step-by-step
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.🤞
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!
What a great teacher
Thank you so much for your information it is of great help to me.
Great video, you sure did a great job explaining all about these tricky plants to grow!!
Excellent video , thank you ! I planted mine last year as per your instruction and iris did well and bloomed 😁
Very informative video. It helped a whole lot with understanding the concept of these plants.
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 you for the video it was very helpful.
Thank you! This is very helpful! I had no idea! I saw these unusual plants a few weeks ago on my other property which was purchased maybe a year ago. I knew they were something special so I dug up a few and brought them home. The ones I dug up don't have the large rhizome that yours has. I will go back and try to find the original. There are quite a few of them!
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.
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.
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 so much. Excellent video!
Best iris video ever!
I’m new to iris flowers …. This year I’m smitten & will get more! ❤
Really great explanations - thank you !
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!!
Just found your channel and learned some new techniques. I have a bed full of irises and some in old planter boxes. I'd like to put them all together. Can you offer a suggestion about planting a bed of irises? Looking forward to more videos. Thank you!
Thank you for the easy to understand information..🎉
You are lovely and I found this very informative 😊 Thank you very much
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.
So glad I found your Chanel. Thank you for all this information. Have a great day
Very glad it was helpful!
Wish there were a guide as good as this for other plants
Thank you, your video was very helpful.
Thank you ! Excellent demo!!!
Thank u for the helpful tips to grow Iris
Very good information, I have planted wrong.Thank you for the tutorial!!!!!
Thank you Catherine for the best tutorial I have found and for including fan orientation.
I have seed pods growing can these be planted?
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.
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!😁
That's really helpful. I've learnt a lot about planting.
Thank you.
Very glad it was helpful to you. :)
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!
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. Excellent presentation
Excellent video!!
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. :)
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 so much your video was very helpful 😊
So helpful, thanks!
That was most helpful thank you for posting
Thank you Ma'am, for this informative video for Iris plant. New friend from Philipines
Thank you for this concise explanation.Just what I needed before I planted some iris a friend gave me. I will subscribe because you don't waste words or my time. P.S. I LOVE your thick wavy hair, and you have a good cut.
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!
Thank you, very informative.
What a great video. Thanks!!!
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.
Excellent video. The camera angle was perfect, too.
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 so much, I put a bunch in the ground today , too deep.
Tomorrow I’ll go re-do them correctly.
Blessings and best regards.
Really informative!
Thank you for solving the Iris Mystery!
I planted 5 rhizomes last year and only one came up, now I know why! Thank you!
Very helpful. Thank you!
This was best video imo for irises
