It's best to plant irises in the spring, but they can be transplanted in the fall. The rhizome (brown part with roots on it) should not be completely covered or the irises will not bloom. They like plenty of sunshine and shouldn't be in a place that doesn't drain well or the rhizomes will rot.

Plant iris in mid- to late summer. Bearded irises have rhizomes (fleshy roots) that should be partially exposed, or thinly covered with soil in hot climates.
