How to Care for the Plant
Water
They need to be watered well when they are first planted in the soil.
Pruning
Cut back after flowering. Prune back the foliage in the fall. This will reduce the chances of overwintering pests and diseases. Make dividing a habit. Divide clumps of bearded iris plants every three to four years in late summer.
Fertilizer
Do not mulch. Mulching helps the soil retain moisture, and too much moisture will cause the rhizomes to rot. Adding organic fertiliser to the soil well under the rhizome before planting the rhizome will help in good growth.
