How to Grow and Care for Hundy 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 the rhizomes 6-8 inches apart to ensure proper air circulation and healthy growth.

- Maintenance: Remove spent blooms and any yellowing foliage to maintain a neat and tidy appearance. Divide the rhizomes every 3-4 years in late summer to avoid overcrowding and encourage healthy growth.
