Hi, they prefer a neutral to slightly acid soil, add some low nitrogen fertilizer to the planting hole, Derek.

My irises didn't flower this year due to the vigorous growth of all the other plants. They needed their rhizomes exposed to the sun. I have planted two lots in pots with 75% grit which have established within a week and the others in the garden are now exposed to the sun.
