Iris Plants FAQ
How to Care for a Regina Iris Plant?
To care for a Regina Iris plant, provide it with well-draining soil and a location that receives at least six hours of sunlight daily. Ensure that the soil is consistently moist, especially during the growing season, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer to support healthy growth and abundant blooms. Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage prolonged blooming and prevent the plant from using energy on seed production.
Where to Plant Iris?
Plant iris in a location that receives ample sunlight, ideally in a spot with full sun to partial shade. Iris plants thrive in well-draining soil and can be planted in garden beds, borders, or containers. When selecting a planting site, consider the specific requirements of the iris variety, as some may prefer slightly acidic soil while others thrive in neutral to alkaline conditions.
When to Cut Back Iris Plants?
The best time to cut back iris plants is after they have finished flowering, typically in late spring to early summer. Remove the spent flower stalks by cutting them down to the base using clean and sharp garden scissors or pruning shears. Trimming back iris foliage can also be done in late summer or early fall to tidy up the plants and promote better air circulation, reducing the risk of disease. Ensure that the cut leaves are healthy, as diseased foliage should be removed promptly to prevent the spread of infections.

Better than expected, full fat leaves and had a couple of buds which 1 flowered in 2 days with a beautiful purple flower. Always wanted this plant with the long tall leaves and thanks again for all you and your team do to give us good quality plants. Blessings.
This plant arrived in EXCELLENT condition, with several buds and the remains of an old bloom. It was larger than I expected. I also purchased the heat packs to protect it from 20 degree Fahrenheit temps. The packaging was so sturdy it took me a while to break into it haha! Thank you!
