The most common larger varieties are great at the back of the flower bed or as a cutting. For flower growers, there is a place in your garden for one, or several groups. But, be careful, as they spread quickly and can overcome other flowers. Regular Irises come in several colors. Some are Bearded, while others are beardless.
Regular Irises make great cut flowers, with their tall, sturdy stalks.
Dwarf varieties grow much smaller, less than eight inches tall. They are good in flower beds and around rock gardens. Irises are grown from both seed and root separation. The roots, or Rhizomes, are easily separated and replanted. The Rhizome looks like a long, thin potato with roots underneath.
