On one web a person was recommending bone meal for Iris is this the best approach?Mine need stimulation don't look vigorous enough.

Very Nice!

The foilage is so healthy.

There are really getting to be some wonderful, performance plants on the market from great hybridizers.

I've always steered clear of bone meal. I'm always afraid critters will pick up on it's odor and dig up rhizomes trying to get to it.
A local commercial iris grower here feeds his right after bloom season. And I believe that's the time he feeds them. He uses a high nitrogen based fertilizer. But he also "HIGHLY" recommends a soil test before anything is added.
