Dietes grandiflora is a dramatic landscaping plant when planted en masse and allowed to multiply. I've actually got one growing in a large terracotta pot which looks pretty good too.

Bearded Iris must be planted with the rhizome exposed i.e. do not cover with soil. They like a side dressing of lime around about August and feeding with a well balanced slow release fertilizer in early October. Divide every 3 years for best results.

Standards refers to the 3 upper petals of the flower and falls refers to the three lower petals. The beard is the little cluster of hairs at the top of the falls which is a guide for pollinating insects.
