One hundred police officers have died nationwide so far in 2015 while in the line of duty, up 15 percent from this time last year, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, a nonprofit law enforcement information clearinghouse.
Bearded irises grow well in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 10. The best time to divide these plants is four to six weeks after they bloom -- midsummer to early fall -- every two to three years when blooming decreases.
Breeders have introduced a variety of reblooming Irises, which have a tendency to flower again from late summer into fall depending on climate and growing conditions. Please note that Bearded Irises may not bloom the first year after planting. Light/Watering: Full sun and well-drained soil are important for vigorous growth and flowering. Do not overwater, as too much moisture in the soil can cause the rhizomes (roots) to rot, but do water deeply during summer drought.
