Sure! Why not. Don't plant them too deep.

Sounds like a great addition to the area Tammy. I am sure they will do well there.

We are all under the same stars... therefore we are never far apart.

I'm afraid I don't know the difference between a bearded iris and a clean shaven one.

Funny! (Actually, you should never shave your Iris because without the beard, the bees and other pollen helpers won't have anything to hang on to, to stir up the pollen!)

On a more serious note... Tammy, All Irises come in all colors, so that won't help to identify them. Here's a link to a topic right next door, here in Plants and FLowers, that will show & tell you the difference between Dutch and Bearded Iris. Something that I didn't know at the time of those posts, is that while Siberian look similar to the Dutch Iris, they grow in "clumps" with roots. Dutch Iris have bulbs & Bearded Iris have rhizomes. (Five and six posts down from that post on the same page, are photos of Siberian Iris.)

From your description, it sounds like you have Siberian. They are up and blooming right now, here on the west coast.
