There's no way of telling really - just plant it in the right way and cross your fingers. When I split mine, sometimes not all of them flower the following year, but some do. Iris White City-

That's a gorgeous one, @Pete.8 ! I have Immortality, which is white and flowers in the spring and autumn.
I've had bearded iris that have flowered one year but not the next as well, despite ideal conditions. I have one I purchased bare-root from an online plant company that's been in the ground for two years and still hasn't bloomed. Maybe this will be the year.

Thanks everyone, I now know how best to grow it and how to look after it . Just need to cross my fingers🤞and hope it flowers this summer . If not I’ll just have to wait won’t I?
I’ve been given a pot with a growing bearded iris in . It’s a couple of inches tall . I know nothing about these plants except that they have to grow in sun and be planted shallow . My question is ,if I plant this iris do you think it will bloom this summer ?
I honestly have no idea lol. I came here from your profile and I went to ur profile to see if I could follow u cause of a good comment u made. Iris is my name!
It would have been too immature for flowering this year if it was so small in spring @bcpathome, but it might/should be fine next year. They can take a while to be mature enough to flower well
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
