I grow Louisana iris here and they take a lot of water, they are a bog plant (or stream side) what I have done is sink a closed (non drainging) container into the ground, 3-4 inches below soil level. Fill with a good rich mix, plant at soil level so the base of the plant is not in standing water and water once a week. The container does not dry out as fast as the surrounding soil. Works for me, without bug problems.

The delphiniums are fading into summer...
