How to Grow and Care for Devil's Playground Intermediate Iris
- Planting Location: Devil's Playground thrives in full sun. Plant it in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal blooming.
- Soil Conditions: Well-drained soil is essential for good root health. Devil's Playground prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0). Ensure the soil is loose and not prone to waterlogging, as good drainage helps prevent root rot.
- Planting Tips: Plant rhizomes in early spring or fall, making sure to expose the tops of the rhizomes above the soil. Space the rhizomes 12–18 inches apart to allow for growth and air circulation.
- Watering Needs: Water regularly, ensuring that the soil remains evenly moist but not soggy. While the plant needs water during the growing season, avoid over-watering, especially in poorly draining soil.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage further flowering and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. After blooming, allow the plant to go dormant, cutting back the foliage only after it has fully died back. Dividing the rhizomes every few years will keep the plant healthy and encourage continued strong blooms.
