If you'd prefer not to grow your iris seeds directly into the ground, you can also opt for growing them in pots, as they typically perform well in planters above ground.

Irises are among the most beloved and easy to grow flowers. They can be found growing wild on most continents, with each having their unique cultural needs.

Though uncommon, you can grow irises in pots at least 12 inches wide. Use a loose, soil-free potting mix, and leave the tops of the rhizomes exposed or just barely covered.
