Iris have been grown in containers, or pots if you prefer, for a very long time. You can grow iris in containers and get great bloom, and now even exhibit and have them judged in an AIS Iris Show. This webinar may just stimulate you to try out a new option for growing iris. We’ll cover the: will they bloom, why grow them in containers, types and sizes of containers, the soil, care of container iris, hardiness zone concerns, pros and cons, and exhibiting container iris.

Thank you for making these videos! I'm just starting my iris collection. I started gardening with my grandmother and I still have some of her historic iris!

William, sorry for the delay in replying, I do not check this very often. You are welcome. I got my love of iris from my father. I have hostorics back to the 1600s.

The dish detergent works as a surfactant which helps with the blending of the mixture and increases the spreading and wetting properties of the mixture. I use a few drops of dish detergent when making my neem oil mixtures.

Great video. I've been interested in using iris in larger pots for visual interest. In the past when I've receive a smaller rhizome, I'll pot them up. Then I don't loose track of it (due to it's small size) and they can grow a bit before adding it to the landscape. Thank you for the new ideas on iris in the landscape.
