Japanese iris are a group of beardless iris (I. ensata, formerly I. kaempferi) which are the last to bloom, about a month after the tall bearded and Siberian iris.
The largest flowers of all iris, with lovely forms, colors and patterns, they require full sun, a rich, acidic soil and ample water. Mulch will help hold in water and reduce weeds.
Japanese iris are heavy feeders and an azalea-type fertilizer in the spring, just after bloom, is best. Keep the pH between 5.0 and 6.5. Japanese are generally prodigious growers so allow three or four feet between plants. Singles have three falls (3F), doubles have six (6F) and peony-type have nine or more (9F). The spectacular blooms are large, flat and four to eight inches across.
