Planting and Growing Information
Plant Blue Hill Dwarf Iris bulbs in fall, approximately 4 inches deep and 4 inches apart in well-drained, humus-rich soil. They thrive in full sun to partial shade locations in USDA hardiness zones 4-9. Blooming in early to mid-spring, often alongside crocuses, these irises require moderate watering and benefit from a 2-inch layer of mulch. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally to nourish bulbs for next season's display.
