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.
Answer by thewindrose (642) Only prune back the flower stem after it has bloomed. You do not want to cut back iris leaves, or they may not bloom next year. To thin plants, dig up the rhizome instead. It will be very close to the top of the soil. Then you can transplant them or give them away!
