Adding A Blue Iris Flower To Your Yard
Adding the Blue Iris Flower to your yard can be a wonderful way to add color to your garden. .
Flowers come in every shade of blue and purple that can be planted to enhance your garden. Blue flowers go with all other colored flowers so spread them around in your garden for an interesting effect.
When planting your Blue Iris Flower make sure you pay attention to the instructions for their planting, care and maintenance. Buying plants that thrive in the conditions in which you intend to grow them will give you a much fuller and easier to care for garden. A plant that needs full sun will not grow to your expectations if it is planted in the shade.
Make sure that you fertilize and water your Blue Iris Flower according to the instructions that came with the flower and you will be rewarded with big luscious blooms. Don’t forget to pinch off any dead flowers as this will make the plant grow fuller.
