Description

The Dutch Iris are really hybrids of the Spanish Iris. Plant the bulbs about 4" deep in a sunny spot and a well-drained soil. A mulch for winter protection is a good idea.

Water Saving Tip:

Even during our hottest months we don't need to water daily.

Give your plants a chance to breathe.

Water late at night or in the early morning hours to avoid losses to wind and evaporation.
