Again a cultural variation with climate. Here in hot summer Australia, we
find that exposed rhizomes get damged by direct exposure to strong summer
sun. If you have very hot summers we would recommend ensuring that the
rhizome is covered with half an inch of soil.

>Laetitia already suggested one of the 2 most likely things that keep your
iris from blooming: lack of sunlight. They need at least half a day of
sun, preferably should be in sun all day. The other thing is that they
might be planted too deeply, which would let them grow but won't let them
bloom. They need to be half out of the ground, the rhizome showing its back
to the sun while the roots go down into the soil.
