Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, plant your Iris Yellow bulbs during the autumn or early spring. Ensure the soil is fertile and drains well; if you have heavy clay soil, mix in horticultural grit to improve drainage. Dig a hole to a depth roughly three to four times the size of the bulb and space them 10 cm apart. Once placed, cover with soil and water thoroughly to settle the bulbs. During the growing season, keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. After the flowers have faded, allow the foliage to die back naturally to channel energy back into the bulb for the following season. These bulbs can remain in the ground year-round in most UK locations due to their hardy nature.
