Good selections! I have all of them, and wouldn't give up one. They gave you a nice selection of 3, 6, and peony type falls.

Be sure to mulch them really well, and keep them damp for the rest of this year, right up to ground freeze.

I don't know what Ensata says about fertilizer, some places say not to fertilize at all the first year, but I always do Miracle Gro as soon as I see new growth, and put composted manure and some granular down in the early fall. That's a huge growth period. JIs are heavy feeders. But of course follow Ensatas instructions, so your irises will be guaranteed.
