Planting Instructions (Bare Root):

1. Prepare your planting location: Choose a spot in your pond or water garden with shallow water (up to 6 inches deep) or consistently moist soil.
2. Optional: Use an aquatic planting pot: For easier management and to contain growth, consider using a planting pot. Fill the pot with aquatic planting soil.
3. Plant the bare root: Gently place the bare root in the prepared soil or planting pot, ensuring the rhizome (the thick, horizontal stem) is partially exposed or just below the soil surface.
4. Cover the roots: Cover the roots with soil, gently firming it around the plant.
5. Water thoroughly: If planting in soil, water thoroughly. If using a pot, slowly submerge it in the pond.
6. Provide sunlight: Water Irises thrive in full sun to partial shade.  
7. Watch it grow! With proper conditions, your Water Iris will quickly establish and reward you with beautiful blooms.
