Siberian Irises

why do my siberian irises bloom halfway down inside the leaves? My hydrangeas do this as well…

Not sure what you mean by this but I am curious. Can you send a photo? Do the blooms open? Are the tips of the branches brown or shriveled? Sometimes a frost or drought will destroy tip buds but older buds beneath the tip buds survive.  Perhaps your plants were hit by a frost when the tip buds formed. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
