They require minimal maintenance—just the occasional tidy-up of spent flower stems and feeding in late winter or early spring. With their water-wise nature, irises are perfect for eco-friendly and low-maintenance gardens. Many varieties cope well with seasonal wet areas, making them ideal around ponds or in rain gardens.
