Planting material of bearded irises

PLANTING MATERIAL

We offer planting material grown in Orel and adapted to the climatic conditions of central Russia.

Bearded irises reproduce in small sections . The standard division of the iris is a one-year or two-year link of the rhizome. A good summer planting material for an iris should have 5-7 leaves and a strong rhizome. The size of the cut depends on the variety of the iris and does not affect the further development of the iris bush. The cuttings of some varieties of iris take root only in the second year, if the cut is not separated from the mother plant. When planting a "bald" division, it gives its own roots and develops in the same way as the divisions of other varieties. The photo shows that the "bald" section has no roots yet, but the babies are already visible!

After planting, after about 10 days, the iris gives NEW roots, the old roots die off, so I recommend cutting them off, leaving 2-3 cm only so that the section holds better in the ground.

Due to numerous requests from customers, I can send the planting material in April - May - June. Due to the fact that many plots are too small in the spring (an example of a plot in the photo), I send only a limited range of varieties. Order from the SPRING MAILING LIST section.

With proper care, a good piece of iris blooms next year and can only give off babies after flowering. Many recommend planting irises with their backs facing south. In 20 years of growing irises, I have made sure that irises grow equally well with any planting. In the photo, the irises are planted with their backs to the northwest and bloom together in the first year after planting.

The iris section can be stored for 9 months (it has been verified that it was stored in a box, folded with paper, in a dry state from August to April) and has not lost its ability to grow during spring planting. This is due to its membership in xerophytes. Xerophytes can retain their vital protein organelles at the molecular level in a cell when they are hydrated with water molecules, which prevent them from dying during drying. At the same time, the water is in a bound state, and the amount of it in its free form is minimal, so such dried iris cuttings do not get wet rot during shipment. The irises planted in spring bloomed somewhat later than the irises that had wintered in the ground.
