How to Care for the Plant
Water
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.
Pruning
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).
Fertilizer
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.
