Neglect, neglect, neglect. That seems to be the special codeword to get the heirloom white cemetery iris to flourish. The cemetery white iris (Iris albicans) is aptly named because it can often be found blooming in cemeteries in late March to early April. These same sites often become very dry with cracked soils during the summer, but these white iris don't seem to mind. These are not the same as the Louisiana iris that love the water as these prefer well drained soils. They mix well with a spring blooming verbena and other non aggressive, creeping ground covers.

Where do they come from?

Since they can be found in many different areas and on very old sites, many believe the old cemetery whites to be native to America, but they are not. They, like most bulbs that do well in the South, are natives of the Mediterranean area. Some believe these are what were documented as far back as 1400 BC. The white cemetery iris was used in cemeteries as it traveled from the Mediterranean area across North Africa to Spain and then to the New World. Their 1860 recorded discovery is attributed to Johan Lange, a Danish botanist.

What to expect: You will see the foliage come up in late February or early March. The flat, spiky foliage will have a bluish tint and stay firm and upright until the first frost. The bloom will make its appearance in March. They are hardy perennials in zones 7-10. Those in zone 10 may want to consider a little shade from the late afternoon sun as too much sun can cause the leaves to scorch or fade.

How to plant: Plant where they can get almost full winter sun! Above they are planted around a deciduous tree. Plant the tubers just barely under the surface of the ground. If there is foliage on the tuber, plant the foliage above the soil; however, if there isn't any foliage, you can plant the tuber on its side any direction at all. You can't go wrong. How close together you plant them really depends on your plan. If you want them to look natural quickly, then plant them about 4-6 inches apart. If you are willing for them to look sparse and fill in over the years, then plant them up to 12-18 inches apart. They will multiply quickly so plan on thinning them periodically. Like we said before the white cemetery iris almost relishes being ignored so don't feel like you need to fertilize it or water it all the time, or at all. Look at the picture below where they are growing on an old log in the ditch! Completely neglected, dry and full sun even in the summer!

Sunlight and soil: This tuber does great where it gets full sun in well-drained soil. It seems to flourish in dry hot southern summers.

Animals: They are ignored by deer but bees and hummingbirds are attracted to them.

Zoey loves this brand
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Heart
Our German Shepard, Zoey, loves the Spunky Pups squeaky toys. This heart shaped one is slightly smaller than the blue diamond one. Zoey likes to walk around everywhere with it in her mouth, so we prefer this one more since it’s not as big. The squeaking sound is medium-high pitched. It has great bounce as well. The toy overall is well made and will hold up over time.

Squeaker Beware
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Heart
Bought these for gifts. One dog was squeaking it constantly (beware your ears lol) and within about 15mins it no longer squeaked. It was a Bernedoodle so wasn’t destroying it, just happily making it squeak. It still works as a bouncy ball. But the squeaker definitely doesn’t last long depending on how much it’s used. Overall a cute concept providing plenty of entertainment. Definitely not a toy if you have an aggressive chewer unless monitoring play.

DOGS LOVE
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Heart
My dogs love it! I buy as gifts too as it’s always appreciated. Easy squeak and fun to bounce with all the sides. My dogs chew until they crack & still squeak for a bit. When eventually squeak stops my dogs still return to it. They seem to love just for the air sounds. I personally appreciates that more than the squeak but what do I know? I’m not a dog.6

Great, but they don't last.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Heart
Our dog absolutely loves these things. However, they get punctured or form a crack on a seam with very little use. This time it only took a couple of hours of play. Once this happens, they no longer squeak. This may sound weird, but the heart shape seems worse for this defect.
