Dear Gardeners:

"Achtung" means "attention" in German and that's just what all gardeners need to do when it comes to German Irises! Colorful, sun loving, and drought tolerant German Irises are jewels in any garden.

I especially like their tall and sword-like foliage. Above and beyond their colorful flowers, the substantial silver-toned leaves make a big textural impact in the garden, even when they aren't in bloom!

For the best success with German Irises, give them plenty of sunshine and excellent drainage. These bulbs hate having wet feet so much you can't even put mulch on top of the bulb! At least six hours of sunlight are required for optimum flower production for the Reblooming Irises.

Even when the best care is taken to properly situate Irises in their best location, they will tend to "walk around" to find the spot they like best. Maybe it's one foot that way, or even three feet that way... regardless, if your Irises walk around a bit in your garden, let them; they're just finding their natural spot that will give you the best results possible.

Happy Gardening,
The Bulb Lady®
