When planting a perennial garden, choose flowers with different blooming times to ensure that your flower plot always has something in bloom at any given time. Irises are an excellent choice for a beginning or intermediate gardener because they are easy to maintain, have three distinct blooming patterns and come in a wide variety of color choices. Also, if you have an iris-heavy garden, you will need to separate the rhizomes or roots every few years to keep the plants from crowding. Fortunately, there will be an abundance of additional flowers that can be planted elsewhere or shared with friends.
