Bearded iris is available in dwarf & miniature varieties suited to container growing. A 6" to 8" pot will work for Dwarf Iris; a 12" pot for TB Iris. Ensure the pot has good drainage. Plant rhizomes with the top third of the rhizome above soil. Leave at least 1" below the pot's rim. Water only when the top 2" of soil are dry. Keep outdoors over winter, when buds appear, bring inside & place in a sunny window. After bloom, divide your Iris and replant outside or into more pots.

How to Dig and Divide Bearded Iris

Irises grow from a rhizome, a form of modified stem that creeps along the ground just beneath the surface. Irises have a fat, fleshy rhizome for storing water and starch, which contributes to their durability.
