Care & maintenance

Irises are generally low-maintenance. Cut back spent flower stalks to the base of the plant to encourage further blooming and maintain tidiness. In late autumn, trim back foliage to a few inches above the ground. Division every 3-5 years helps maintain vigor and bloom production.
