What grows well with Bearded Iris?
The practice of “Companion Planting”, a centuries-old gardening
tradition, grew from the proven notion that different plant species, planted
close together, assist each other with nutrient production and
absorption, controlling pests, attracting pollinators, and other factors
necessary for their full productivity. This practice is clearly
beneficial in flower gardens as well. When planning your companion plantings for Bearded Iris beds, consider
water conservation as well as overall aesthetic design.
