✂️ Care

Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage prolonged blooming. Light pruning in late winter removes damaged foliage and rejuvenates the plant. Keep the soil moist during the growing season.

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

Iris pseudacorus 'Variegata' is a spectacular perennial ideal for wet gardens, pond banks, and marshy areas.
