Divide every 2 - 3 years, as needed. Divide your iris in late summer or early fall.
For placement in the pond, use one gallon containers or larger, using heavy loam soil, place in full sun with up to three inches of water over the top of the pot. Fertilize with slow release fertilizer tabs, once a month, June through August. Also great as bog plants or or bog filters!
*Extra large fabric planters or large planting baskets work beautifully for pond plants-- as these containers allow your plants roots access to oxygen in the water!
