Care/Water

The Iris sibirica 'Dreaming Green' requires regular watering during the growing season, especially on hot or dry days. The soil should always be slightly moist, well-drained, and nutrient-rich to support strong shoots, healthy foliage, and abundant flowering. Water directly at the roots and avoid wetting the foliage to prevent fungal diseases. Consistent moisture supports the plant’s vitality and flower development.
