watering
Siberian iris (Iris 'Pink Haze') should be watered once a week, but the amount can vary depending on the season. During the summer, when the weather is warm and days are dry, it is important to give this plant about an inch of water each time, paying particular attention to the roots. When the weather is cooler and wetter, this can be reduced to around half an inch of water, but never skip a week without watering. If rain is plentiful, however, supplements may not be necessary.
sunlight
Siberian iris need sunlight for 6 to 8 hours per day for optimal growth. This variety prefers full to partial sun, meaning it needs to be planted in an area where it will receive direct sunlight for at least part of the day. When in full sun, the Siberian iris needs plenty of water since it can dry out quickly. When grown in partial sun, water is still important, but does not need to be provided as frequently.
pruning
For Siberian iris (Iris 'Pink Haze'), pruning should be done once a year in late winter or early spring. The best time to prune your Siberian iris is after the last flowering of the season. To prune your Siberian iris, start by cutting stems back to healthy foliage. Remove dead and damaged stems, and stems that are at least a year old and do not have flower buds. Cut the stems back to 6 inches (15 cm) above the crown of the plant. Prune any overly wide and tall stems back to a more manageable size. Lastly, lightly shape your Siberian iris if desired.
