Description
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

Arrives as young plant
Rain gardens have taken the horticultural industry by storm, no pun intended. Here, Great Garden Plants answers all your questions about designing, planting, and caring for rain gardens.
When I received the 'Silver Edge' Siberian Iris they looked great. I planted then as directed with my Hellebores. They have grown quickly. It has been a few weeks since they were planted and yet they look like they are fully established. As expected, they did not bloom this year.
I ordered this along with another Iris that can handle water. It's doing really good. It handled transport well and getting planted. I didn't let the review of someone else's stating it hadn't bloomed yet stop me from getting this, luckily I have ordered from somewhere that specializes in Iris and they told me when you get Iris the sometimes don't bloom for a year. I was super happy with the condition of this plant and I will be looking forward to blooms next year!
these bulbs did not happen to bloom this year
Hello! Thank you for leaving us feedback. We're sorry to hear that your Iris did not bloom this year. It's hard to say for certain why you did not see blooms this year since so many factors like weather, soil type, watering, and fertilizing all come into play. Perhaps you're familiar with the old saying about plants: first year sleep, second year creep, third year leap. This applies to plants in the garden center as well as plants you purchase online. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, the second year they have more energy to put into growth, and the third year, they are growing and flowering vigorously. Keep tending to your plants and they will reward you. Happy Gardening!
I am giving this plant some time to grow. The Iris appears to be growing slow. It could just be the weather conditions or a little more tender loving care is needed.
Hello! It's hard to say for certain how fast your Iris will grow, since so many factors - like weather, soil type, watering, and fertilizing - all come into play. Perhaps you're familiar with the old saying about plants: first year sleep, second year creep, third year leap. This applies to plants in the garden center as well as plants you purchase online. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, the second year they have more energy to put into growth, and the third year, they are growing and flowering vigorously. Your plant is growing, just below the surface of the soil. Happy Gardening!
