Bearded irises grow well in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 10. The best time to divide these plants is four to six weeks after they bloom -- midsummer to early fall -- every two to three years when blooming decreases.
Bearded irises are named for the fuzzy beard which is seen on the petals that droop downward, which are known as falls. They come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 4 to 28 inches tall. Bearded irises are available in a variety of colors, including white, yellow, orange, pink, wine-red, blue and purple.
