You may wonder how deep do you plant iris bulbs for the best display; in this article, we will look at all that and more.

Iris bulbs are popularly called the goddess of the rainbow because they fill the garden with colourful blooms in spring and early summer.

Iris reticulata and Iris histrioides are two types that are popular among gardeners who grow irises.  These flowers are a joy to see on the doorstep to cheer you up every morning and remind you summer is around the corner.

You can also grow the spring- and summer-flowering Dutch irises – Iris hollandica and Siberian irises Iris sibirica, that flower in May and June.  The bearded irises – Iris germanica and the Japanese water iris – Iris ensata, whose flowers can go into July.

All these irises are diverse in colour and size and here are some common varieties:

• The tall varieties that are instrumental in providing drifts of colour in spring
• The deeply glamorous types in unusual coppery shades or sugar-almond-pi
