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.
Planting Bulbs in USDA Zones 8 to 10 In USDA zone 8, bulbs planted in the fall become well-established in warm, organically-mulched, well-draining soils with a pH level of 6.8 to 7.0. In zones 9 and 10, irises and other flowering bulbs growing in Mediterranean climates but hardy to cooler regions may be planted from mid-August into December or mid-October through late January, notes the website ColorBlends.
