Iris can be difficult to bloom. The reason being is most people transplant them at the wrong time. They should be thinned out every 2-3 years and replanted one bulb for every foot in each direction for proper propagation. If they get too many bulbs, they stop multiplying. They should be allowed to bloom and after the flower falls, cut the stem at ground level and transplant.
Your irises may fail to bloom because of overcrowding, nutrient deficiencies, weeds, inappropriate watering,a late freeze, improper lighting, pests, or deep planting.Your irises may not bloom due to nutrient deficiencies, inappropriate watering, overcrowding, weeds, or deep planting.
Plant iris in a sunny spot.
Iris bloom in late spring after the tulips and daffodils are done. Some will rebloom in fall. Irises will not bloom if they have a problem with a pest such as iris borers.
Plant the iris in a sunny location. Do not bury the iris rhizome too deep.
Most Irises only bloom during their period; usually early summer. As Irises are perennials, they won't be in bloom all season. You could plant different varieties around your Iris to keep the area in color all season.
Dutch irises like moist soil. They bloom in the late spring/early summer and, depending on how many plants are in a clump, can bloom for months. If you moved them while or just before they were they were to bloom, you will have to wait until next year because you may have interrupted their sexual cycle. If they are infant plants, they may not bloom after transplant unless they are a mature "mother" plant that has at least one blooming season, and even this is not a guarantee. I have transplanted irises in my yard that have yet to bloom and that was 2 years ago. I was told that if after two seasons of no blooms, you should re-transplant and separate the mothers and the sisters into individual plants and plant them about 6-12 inches apart in every direction. When some plants get too close to each other, as irises do, they will not reproduce at all. This is why if you don't divide your irises every three to four years or so, they will quit blooming.
There are repeat irises and lilacs. Cattelya orchids can bloom twice a year. There is also an encore azelea.
My Irises bloomed so beautifully this spring and I'm not a gardener... I just planted a bunch of perennials so I wouldn't have to plant flowers every summer, because I do like pretty flowers. Anyway, I don't know anything about Irises and was just wondering if they will bloom again during the summer?
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.
I would use "irises."
Do not allow irises to become too crowded in your garden because the irises will flower poorly or not at all.
