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.
1. Check the depth of the rhizomes because if they are planted too deeply, irises might not bloom. Unlike bulbs and corms, rhizomes are best planted just under the soil. In clay soil, half of the rhizome should be above ground.. Water irises every week after planting and during the first spring and summer. Also water irises after flowering each spring. If your irises are rebloomers, continue to water through summer if rain is lacking, until they bloom again.
