Planting and Growing Information

Plant 'Best Bet' rhizomes in late summer to early fall, positioning them with the top just above the soil surface to prevent rot. This iris thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade, preferring well-drained, humus-rich soil. Hardy in USDA zones 3-9, it adapts well to diverse climate conditions across the United States. The primary bloom occurs in late spring to early summer, with a potential second flowering in late summer to fall, especially in favorable conditions.
