Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the fall. This allows them to establish their root systems before the ground freezes, ensuring they are ready to bloom in late spring or early summer.
While they are excellent for borders and garden beds, Dutch Irises can be grown in containers as long as the pot has excellent drainage and is deep enough to accommodate the 4-5 inch planting depth.
Dutch Irises are generally avoided by deer and rodents, making them a reliable choice for gardens where wildlife pressure is a concern.
In hardiness zones 6-9, these bulbs are perennial and can be left in the ground year-round. Simply allow the foliage to die back naturally after blooming to nourish the bulb for next year's growth.
With 60 bulbs included, you have enough to create a significant impact. For a dense, professional look, space them 3 inches apart in clusters or along a garden border.
The most important requirement is well-drained soil. They do not like to sit in water, so if your garden has heavy clay, consider amending the soil with organic matter or planting in raised beds.
