Irises are very beautiful and unpretentious plants. Gardeners love them for the fact that even after the end of blossoming the irises continue to decorate garden with the foliage. These surprising flowers do not concede on the charm to orchids, land them in beds and lawns, jobs, around trees and bushes.

Instruction

1. One week prior to landing of irises pave the way. Dig over the place where you will put, on spade depth. Then bring on depth of 10-12 cm of 8-10 kg of humus, 3 tablespoons of superphosphate, 2 glasses of wood ashes. If the earth on your site sour, it is possible to add to it 1 glass of dolomite powder.

2. It is necessary to put irises after they have faded. The distance between flowers has to make 20-40 cm. You make landing superficially so that the upper part of rhizome acted from the earth, and the kidney has not been filled up. Otherwise plants can cease to blossom or ache. Put irises slightly obliquely, before landing cut off leaves on 1/3 and slightly shorten roots.

3. Regularly spray irises with the leaves which have grown up to 10 cm from wreckers with toxic chemicals or melationy (time in 14 days). When flowers are 3-5 years old, begin to fertilize them mineral fertilizing from nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Delete all deflowered flowers and peduncles after blossoming.
