June-flowering or Bearded - LoveToKnow Garden   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) The Spanish Iris must not be waterlogged in autumn and winter, preferring a loose, friable, sandy soil, which, however, should not be too poor, for it repays feeding with thoroughly rotten leaf-mould or manure. The golden rule of not meddling over-much applies distinctly to the Spanish Iris, as the new roots begin to shoot out almost before the old stalk has withered, and the bulb must not be kept out of the ground. Plant, then, the Spanish Iris in clumps on some rich, loose, friable plot, where their bright color may be shown to advantage, and let them stay there year after year until the dwindling foliage tells you that they have exhausted their soil. garden.lovetoknow.com /wiki/June-flowering_or_Bearded   (462 words)
