How to Grow and Care for Coconino Dwarf Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny or partially shaded location with well-draining soil. Plant rhizomes in late summer or early fall, positioning them 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Space rhizomes 6-8 inches apart to promote healthy growth and proper airflow.

- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring, just before new growth begins, and again after blooming to support continued healthy growth and vibrant flowers.
