How to Grow and Care for Greenland Dwarf Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny or partially shaded location with well-draining soil. Plant rhizomes in late summer or early fall, burying them 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Space rhizomes 6-8 inches apart to ensure proper air circulation and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water gently after planting to help establish the roots. Once established, the Greenland Dwarf Iris is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering, except during prolonged dry spells.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins, and again after blooming to support healthy growth and vibrant flowers.
- Maintenance: Remove spent blooms and any yellowing foliage to maintain a tidy and neat appearance. Divide the clumps every 3-4 years in late summer to prevent overcrowding and promote healthy, strong growth.
