How to Grow and Care for Bitty Beauty Dwarf Iris
Plant the Bitty Beauty Dwarf Iris in well-drained soil in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Position the rhizomes about 2 inches deep and space them 3 to 4 inches apart. These irises prefer cooler climates but can adapt to warmer regions if provided with adequate watering and drainage. Water the plant regularly, but ensure the soil dries out between waterings to prevent rot. After blooming, cut back spent flowers and foliage to maintain the plant’s appearance. In the fall, mulch around the base to protect the roots during colder months. Divide the rhizomes every few years to encourage healthy growth and prevent overcrowding.
