This is my second year outdoor gardening and I love irises! They’re so easy to grow and the bulbs make me feel like I’m good at growing lol ☺️🫶🏼

Ooo I should get some of those! Do you take the bulbs out and store them or just leave them in the ground over winter?

#### Waspinator replied on 2026-05-24

You leave them in the ground. Irises go dormant in the winter

Just leave them! I got the bulbs last fall after they stopped flowering and buried them with a little bit of the top of the bulbs showing. I left the leaves for a bit, but trimmed them down to the base after a while, but idk if you’ll even have to do that since they’re perennials. ☺️🙏🏼

I like astilbe. And it's technically an annual, but nigella reseeds well

#### Cereboros replied on 2026-05-25

WOW just looked those up and the flowers are crazy cool… I’ll have to try some!

I’m going to try Irises this year. Last year I did tulips and they did great, so this year I’m switching up.
