Iris Bulbs - How to Grow

- Use a garden hand trowel, dibber or bulb planter.
- Depth: Approximately 8cm - 10cm deep.

- Plant bulbs with the pointed end facing upwards.
- Cover with soil and firm gently.

- Feed with poultry manure or a balanced fertiliser once foliage appears.
- Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulbs store energy for the following season.
