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.
The various types of iris will bloom at different times, and bloom time also depends on environmental conditions. A clump of iris generally bloom three to four weeks after planting. Some varieties will re-bloom four to eight weeks after the initial bloom as well. Iris need 15 to 20 weeks of cold to initiate blooming, according to the University of Rhode Island Landscape Horticulture Program website.
