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.
Most tender bulbs need to be stored in a cool, dry and dark place for the winter. Some will benefit from being stored in peat, sand or even shredded paper. As an alternative to digging and storing iris bulbs you could consider growing the plants in containers. The great advantage of using flowerpots or containers is that you can then move the plants around as you please.
