Before starting work, you need to decide on the choice of location. Flowers in the garden often lack light. The garden in this case is more suitable for planting those varieties that begin to grow rapidly and eject buds in summer. The early spring ones can then be placed under the crowns of trees, since they usually almost bloom before the leaves fully open. One of these plants is iris.

Irises unusually decorate the site not only thanks to their fancy colors, but also to the extravagant outlines of the petals. The varieties differ depending on the length of the peduncles. The higher they are, the later the bud ejection period. Usually - from early May to mid-June.
