In Love with Japanese Irises
With big, blousy blooms that can be seen from across the yard, Japanese irises will bring a burst of color to your Midwest garden.
What irises need to thrive
Not only are Japanese irises beautiful to look at, but given the right conditions, they do well in the Midwest, says grower John Coble.
Japanese irises take some care, but they're not terribly high-maintenance. They bloom best in full sun, in well-drained soil that's watered well and mulched 2-3 inches deep. They should be divided every three or four years. Most varieties are hardy to Zone 4.
