This Iris demands attention, which makes it a great feature when planted as a group. You’ll want to find a spot where your garden’s visitors can get close and examine each complex petal.

Be sure to set your Sorbonne Iris up for success by planting it in the fall in a shallow hole with a hill of soil at its center. Place the rhizome on the hill and bury it with enough soil to leave the top of the rhizome exposed. For best performance, Sorbonne Irises require full or partial sun and quick-draining soil.

Information About Bare Root Iris
Bare root Iris are shipped as nice fresh cut divisions with two to three fans of green tops. Keep in mind each Iris variety can have slightly different sized roots.
When planting, make sure 1/3rd of the rhizome is exposed to sunlight with the roots buried underneath. Note, it’s best to cover the rhizome with a thin layer of mulch or leaves to protect it during the coldest months but make sure to uncover in the spring.
