Iris

Has anyone any advice please on the best way to pot iris?    What soil; gritty; add fertiliser; close to surface; how long will they be happy in a container?

 

Thank you

Not sure whether my reply worked so sending again.

Bearded irises like well drained soil and the rhizome must be exposed to the sunlight. This short article shows that they are quite happy in containers. http://www.twig-design.co.uk/blog/plant-focus-Andy-Sturgeons-bearded-irises

They should be divided approx every three years.
