When bulbs and rhizomatous irises are planted, stems must be positioned so that feeder roots grow downward into the soil. Temperatures should be above 40 degrees, so the best time to plant bearded iris is July through September, notes North Carolina State University Extension.
Overview. Gardeners growing irises must divide and move them every three to five years for optimal blooming. If you allow irises to become crowded in a growing area, blooms will decrease and deteriorate. Move iris plants in midsummer to allow them ample time to acclimate to their new homes before winter temperatures set in.
