Planting Guide:

🌿 Choosing a Location: Select a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Irises thrive in full sunlight, so pick an area that gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

🌱 Soil Preparation: Ensure the soil drains well and has a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Mixing in compost or well-rotted manure can enhance soil texture and fertility.

🌼 Planting Time: Late summer or early fall is ideal, about 4 to 6 weeks before the first frost. This timing allows the roots to establish before winter.

🍃 Watering: After planting, water irises thoroughly to settle the soil. Thereafter, water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

🌱 Mulching and Fertilization: Apply mulch around the irises to retain moisture and prevent weeds. Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and after flowering.

🌸 Flowering and Care: Depending on the variety, irises bloom in spring or early summer. After blooming, remove faded flowers and trim any yellowing foliage.
