The Dutch Iris are really hybrids of the Spanish Iris. Plant the bulbs about 4" deep in a sunny spot and a well-drained soil. A mulch for winter protection is a good idea.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
