Planting and care
- Avoid applying high-nitrogen fertilizers to the surface or carelessly mulching with organic matter, which may encourage rhizome rot
- Keep rhizomes exposed
- Unlike bulbs, which thrive deep underground, iris rhizomes need a bit of sun and air to dry them out
- If they recovered with soil or crowded by other plants, they will rot
- Irises may benefit from shallow mulching in the spring
- Do not trim iris leaves
- Leaves carry on photosynthesis for next year s growth
- Cut off brown tips and cut the flowering stalk down to the rhizome to discourage rot
- If iris foliage is hit with heavy frost, remove and destroy it to eliminate borer eggs
- After 2 to 5 years, when clumps become congested or lose vitality, divide and replant sound rhizomes in fresh soil
