How to Grow and Care for Dubs Dwarf Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny or partially shaded location with well-draining soil. Plant rhizomes in late summer or early fall, placing them 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Space the rhizomes 6-8 inches apart to ensure proper airflow and growth.
- Watering: Water lightly after planting to help establish roots. Once established, the Dubs Dwarf Iris is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Water only during extended dry spells.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring before new growth appears, and again after blooming to support healthy growth and vibrant flowers.
- Maintenance: Remove spent blooms and any yellowing foliage to keep the plant looking tidy. Divide the clumps every 3-4 years in late summer to encourage continued healthy growth and blooming.
