Siberian iris like moister, slightly acidic, rich soil, but can tolerate a wide range of moisture levels, soils, and light exposure. They are fairly drought tolerant after they are established. Bloom season is right after TBs.

Japanese Iris
Japanese iris prefer rich, acidic, very moist soil (it is good to amend the bed with a lot of compost and compoted manure). They require full sun and should be heavily mulched to keep moisture in. They are not as tolerant of drying out as Louisiana iris. These iris also go well around ponds and water gardens, but do not let winter over in standing water. They bloom the latest, around 4 weeks after TBs.
