Hello,

I purchased some iris bulbs yesterday at home depot, dug holes, covered with potting soil and placed mulch over the top. My question is will these come up through the mulch?

    What kind of Iris were they? each kind have different planting needs.

    Not if they are tall bearded irises. Those need to be planted at the soil's surface with no mulch or they will rot. If they are Dutch Iris bulbs that sounds good- but they will not bloom until next year.

    the 2 diverse things.. will hold and use water in differing ways ... and MIGHT cause trouble ..
