How to Grow and Care for Cameo Keepsake 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 them 6-8 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring, just before new growth begins, and again after blooming to promote healthy growth and vibrant flowers.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent blooms and remove any yellowing foliage to keep the plant looking neat. Divide the clumps every 3-4 years in late summer to encourage healthy growth and avoid overcrowding.
