Blue irises are relatively easy to grow, and they can be planted in a variety of soil types and climate conditions. They prefer full sun to partial shade, and they need well-drained soil. Blue irises can be propagated by dividing the rhizomes in the spring or fall.
To care for blue irises, water them regularly, especially during the first year after planting. Fertilize them in the spring with a balanced fertilizer. Remove spent flower stalks to encourage reblooming. Divide blue irises every 3-4 years to maintain their vigor.
Blue irises are a beautiful and versatile addition to any garden. They can be planted in borders, beds, or containers. They are also a good choice for water gardens and boggy areas.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
