Hi Candy,

This is a siberian iris. It's impossible to tell the exact cultivar name, as so many look similar. But it's definitely a siberian.

Thank you. I'll look them up. This is growing in the school garden I have to work on.

Easy to grow. Likes a moderate amount of water. Doesn't need to be divided until the center starts dying out. A little fertilizer in spring should be all they need. Clean off the old leaves in late fall or early spring.

They look like they are doing well. So just maintain them as is. Divide in early spring or early fall if you want more.

Thanks. Some of them are taking up a lot of space, or the plants around them have gotten too big, I'm not sure which. I wouldn't mind trying them at home also. I always thought Iris was hard to grow and needed moist conditions. These are growing in the same conditions I have at home and are doing well.
