Anyone have tips on how to make my bearded irises flower? A few are flowering but the rest just get leaves and nothing else, so frustrating as I do not know what I am doing wrong.
The rhizome needs to be exposed to sunshine in order for the plant to produce flowers. If some of your plants are hidden in undergrowth that might be why they are not all flowering.
Mine aren't flowering either Ladyjune. I have planted them correctly, the Rhizomes are facing south and not buried under the soil and nothing is shading them. Plenty of leaves but no flowers. It is the first year so I wondered if that might be the reason.
