They grow from rhizomes. Have a look at Claire Austins website.

But they are usually on sale from the beginning of June onwards, tailing off as they finish flowering.

I saw a couple of rather sorry looking Iris for sale in Dobbies the other day in the 'bargain bin', maybe worth having a wee look now Kate.
