Irises: Show me Your Irises!, 1 by Wandasflowers

It depends on the spacing of the main flowers in the beds. My back fence flowerborders have daylilies alternating with irises roughly every 36 inches. Those are my bones. But I also added a variety of other perennials in staggered clumops plus room for my beloved zinnias & snapdragons. My rows are not easily visible as such. I plant in a "diamond" pattern from row to row. If you plant only irises or only daylilies, your gardens will look glorious only for certain weeks of each summer. I plant for a continuing pallet of color & texture that changes from early spring to late fall.

This is a early June view of my South East house bed.
