Should I soak Iris Bulbs Before Planting? It is not a mandatory practice, but you can do it to shorten the growing time. Soak fall-planted bulbs in warm water for 12 hours before planting. Soaking allows the bulb to absorb enough water to begin growth early, which helps save 2 to 3 weeks of time.
What is the best way to plant iris bulbs?
Planting them up to 15cm (6in) deep can help encourage your bulbs to reflower more reliably the following year. Space about a minimum of 5-7.5cm (2-3in) apart. Plant potted bulbs just as you would for other perennials, with the compost on the top at the pot finishing just below the soil surface.
What month do you plant iris bulbs?
Iris bulbs should be planted in the fall for spring blooms. For best results, blooms need at least a half day of full sun, but colors will be more vibrant if they receive a full day of direct sunlight.
