Can I retard my Iris?

I have several groups of Iris strategically placed. I want them to bloom at the same time but one group insists on blooming 7-10 days


earlier than the others. Even though some groups are progeny.

Can I retard my Iris?
hi there


i think u should try plant food for the Irises which Bloom late may be fertilizing can help and boost the blooming time and then u can have all irises at the same time.i think this can work u should try this, But don't give plant food when the plant is blooming


or go on this web site it looks good may bee it will help u


best of luck

Reply:Why does it matter this way it just elongates the blooming season thus longer to enjoy their beauty. I have approx. 50 types of irises over the years I have divided and divided and given them away by the bag full. I have also moved them all around so that each variety is in several different places. my space is approx. 30ft. wide by 60ft long. Their display lasts about a month and is well worth the wait as each week a different clump shows off their colors. there is always room for one more so if you want to remove the bad one I have a place just right for them to blend in.
Reply:There really isn't anything you can do about that.
