General Information: Suitable to all climates except tropical. Grows best in cool to cold
climates but does tolerate warmer areas.
Watering: Water well after planting but don’t water again until foliage emerges. Give thorough
weekly watering during growth and flowering, but once it starts to die down stop watering.
Fertilising: If the soil has been well prepared fertilising isn’t necessary. If soil is of poor quality
blood and bone can be applied after leaves begin to emerge.
Lifting & Storage: Bulbs may be left undisturbed for years. If lifting bulbs do so once
the foliage has died down completely and store in a warm and airy position.
Pests: Watch for aphids and spray with
insecticide if necessary.
Tips: Dutch Iris rot easily if over watered or if soil is poorly drained.
