Growing and Maintenance Tips for Iris siberica 'Peacock Butterfly Miss Apple'
Planting: Plant rhizomes in spring or fall, 1 to 2 inches deep with the crown just below soil level. Space 12 to 24 inches apart. Water well after planting to settle the soil.
Location: Full sun to partial shade. In hot climates, light afternoon shade helps prevent leaf scorch.
Soil: Moist, well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 5.5–7.0). Enrich with compost or peat moss if needed.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist during the growing season, especially in spring and early summer. Tolerates brief dry spells once established.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after flowering. Avoid high-nitrogen formulas.
Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and yellowing foliage. Cut back to the ground in late fall or early spring.
Propagation: Divide clumps every 3 to 4 years in late summer to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding.
