watering
Siberian iris (Iris 'Dance Ballerina Dance') should be watered with about 1 inch of water once per week. Water infrequently and deeply to ensure a healthy root system and to avoid the possibility of root rot. Make sure to water early in the day so that the foliage has time to dry throughout the day; this will help minimize the chances of disease developing. To test soil moisture, plunge your finger into the soil up to the knuckle; moisture should feel damp but not wet. In times of extreme heat or drought, additional water may be needed, but be careful not to over-water as this can be harmful to the plant.
sunlight
The Siberian iris (Iris 'Dance Ballerina Dance') prefers full sun for 4-6 hours a day, which is enough to allow it to thrive. The best time of day to provide sunlight would be between 8am and 2pm, when sunlight exposure is at its highest. Although some shade is tolerated, it is important to give your Siberian iris enough sun to ensure good flower production. During extremely hot, sunny days, providing some protection from the afternoon sun is recommended.
pruning
Siberian iris (Iris 'Dance Ballerina Dance') is an attractive perennial that thrives in most areas. Pruning for this plant species should take place in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. This will help keep the plant healthy and allow it to focus energy on flowering. Pruning should be quite minimal, no more than 1/3 of the entire plant, as this species is not very tolerant of pruning. Deadheading spent flowers can also help encourage new growth and rejuvenation.
