Bearded Iris
Last year I bought a bearded iris, Iris pallida Variegata. It hasn't
flowered. It's planted shallowly in full sun. Any ideas on how to get it to flower next year? Thanks. |

But is the rhizome in full sun or is it shaded by other plants? It needs a good summers baking to produce flowers the next season and no shade whatsoever. However, some iris can be a bit slow to get going, we have a TBI that we have had for over 4 years and is still growing on our allotments but no flowers yet, perhaps next year. -- Regards Bob Some photos of my plants at..... |

Bearded Iris
Good morning Joanne,
Most iris that I have planted have never bloomed until the second year, sometimes even longer. I have them planted in full sun, partial sun, and have had them in full shade before. It doesn't seem to make any difference on how soon they bloom for the first time, but if they weren't at least in partial sun, they wouldn't do as well. I even lost one very beautiful one that I had planted in the shade and left it alone for 4 or 5 years with out thinning it out. I don't know if it was because it wasn't getting any sun or because it grew too big and crowded itself out. I now have about 16 of them on the North side of my house that do very well. They get sun in early morning and late afternoon. I would prefer to have them in full sun, but my yard is not big enough to have everything in "full sun".
