All the beauty and diversity of the iris is best reflected by its botanical name Iris, meaning rainbow.The name is not accidental, because it directly refers to the whole range of colors to which flowers are colored.In some varieties they are even multi-colored.When praising iris, one cannot fail to mention their characteristic sword-shaped leaves.
Iris growth form
The most popular representative of the Iris genus is the bearded iris, which owes its name to a characteristic drawing on the leaves.Within this species there are three groups of plants: tall, medium and low.
The first ones reach a height of 70 to 120 cm and bloom from May to July. They can be successfully arranged with medium iris flowering also in May, which reach a height of 40 to 70 cm.The last, or low irises, 10 to 40 cm high, bloom between April and May and are recommended primarily for rock gardens.
A certain group of irises can be grown in a wetland environment; the smooth iris blooms from June to August, and the yellow and Siberian iris blooms from May to June. All three are distinguished by their filigree flowers without a beard and reach a height of 50 to 100 cm.
The irish stand
A sunny position in moderately moist, well-drained and fertile soil is ideal for bearded irises.Smooth, yellow and swamp iris also tolerate partial shade, preferring moist to wet substrates.
Kosaciec - care
Kosaćce plants are planted in the fall. The upper third of the rhizome should protrude above the ground.In late autumn, when the leaves turn yellow, remove them from the bed.In spring, feed the perennials with mature compost. Kosaćce can be propagated by dividing the roots, this procedure is also used in the case of weakening flowering.
