Iris majoricensis Barceló. Iris albicans, also known as the cemetery iris, white cemetery iris, or the white flag iris, is a species of iris which was planted on graves in Muslim regions and grows in many countries throughout the Middle East and northern Africa.
Water thoroughly. Do not overwater irises; too much moisture in the soil can cause the rhizomes (roots) to rot. Water consistently and deeply, especially during summer drought.
Fertilization with a fertilizer high in nitrogen will stimulate vegetative (non-flowering) growth rather than flowers. Lack of water in late winter and early spring may also prevent proper growth. It may be a good idea to divide and replant your irises.
Grow in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in a sheltered, sunny site. Protect in winter in cold areas.
You can cut away the spent flower stems once the flowers have faded. By November all the foliage and old flower stalks will die off, so all you need do is cut them off at ground level (or just above the new shoots if this task gets left to late winter).
