How to Grow and Care for Androgyny Dwarf Iris
Plant the Androgyny Dwarf Iris in well-drained, fertile soil in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Space the rhizomes about 2 inches deep and 3 to 4 inches apart. While this iris thrives in cooler climates, it can also grow in warmer regions with proper care, ensuring good drainage and consistent watering. Water the plant regularly but allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering and root rot. After blooming, remove spent flowers and trim back foliage to maintain the plant’s appearance. In colder climates, mulch around the base of the plant in fall to protect the rhizomes from harsh winter conditions. Divide the rhizomes every 3 to 4 years to promote healthy growth and avoid overcrowding.
