How to grow Iris 'Golden Muffin' in NZ

Iris 'Golden Muffin' grows best in full sun with free draining soil. Plant rhizomes shallowly with the tops exposed to sunlight to prevent rot. In New Zealand, planting in autumn or early spring gives the best results. Avoid heavy wet soils and ensure good airflow around plants. Water during establishment, then reduce once plants are settled, as irises prefer drier conditions.

Iris 'Golden Muffin' care tips

Iris 'Golden Muffin' is very low maintenance and easy to care for. Remove spent flower stems after flowering to keep plants tidy. Trim foliage back in late summer if needed. Apply a light general fertiliser in spring to support healthy growth and flowering. Divide clumps every three to four years to maintain vigour and ensure consistent blooms.
