How to Care for the Plant

Water
Provide regular watering -- about 1 inch of water per week -- during long periods of no rain. African irises are drought tolerant once established but grow best and produce better flowers when they receive water weekly.
Pruning
Prune dead and dying foliage and spent blooms when necessary. Thin the clumping perennial, if needed, in the winter with sharp pruning shears. Remove fallen blooms, stems, leaves and petals from underneath and around the African iris.
Fertilizer
Feed the African iris an all-purpose fertilizer once a month in March, June and August. Mix the liquid-soluble fertilizer with the appropriate amount of water as stated on the instructions.
