I have about 14 IRIS in my full sun center garden in San Fernando Valley
near Los Angeles Calif. I divided and replanted these in November of
2005 and have been watering and feeding all winter. Only 4 plants
produced flowers.
Following Scotts bulb plant food directions, I recently fed these in
spring. Any idea what I can do to produce any flowers this spring or
insure I get more flowers next spring? Can IRIS still produce flowers
this season?


Thanks, dave_s

Dave,

That might be normal. Quite often Irises take a couple of seasons to
"catch up" to where they will bloom like they were in the old location.
Another thing that might cause them not to bloom is if they were
planted too deep.

I don't think that you can get them to produce flowers this year but you
should get more flowers next year. Keep feeding them and don't cut the
foliage back.
