✂️ Care

Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage prolonged blooming. Light pruning in late winter removes damaged foliage and rejuvenates the plant. Keep the soil moderately moist, especially during active growth.

Few interventions are needed beyond regular watering and division every three to four years to revitalize clumps.

Iris sibirica 'Butter and Sugar' is a spectacular perennial ideal for natural style gardens, mixed borders, wet areas, and sunny pond edges.
