Siberian iris

Siberian iris (Iris 'Sally Kerlin') should be watered once per week during its growing season. During the spring and summer, the plant should be watered deeply, allowing the water to penetrate the soil around the plant's root system. Once the soil is damp, cease adding additional water. In the fall, reduce watering frequency to every 2 weeks. During the winter, allow the first few inches of soil to become dry before watering. Water slowly, allowing the water to penetrate throughout the root system. If the iris is planted in a container, check the soil frequently for dryness.

Siberian Iris (Iris 'Sally Kerlin') requires full sun to partial shade, with about 4-6 hours of direct sunlight a day. If grown in a sunny location, the plant will bloom best. If the Iris is grown in drought-prone areas, some afternoon shade is recommended. During the bloom season, plants should be placed in the sunniest position available. During the summer, plants benefit from some midday shading to protect them from the hottest part of the day. In cooler regions, Siberian Iris can be grown in full sun without the fear of sun burn.

When it comes to caring for a Siberian iris like Iris 'Sally Kerlin', it is important to provide adequate pruning. Pruning should done done when plants are dormat, in late winter or early spring, just before new growth begins. The goal of pruning is to encourage plants to grow bushier and stronger while also improving bloom quality. To prune Siberian iris, cut the stems of any faded or dead flower heads down to the crown of the plant. Also remove any foliage that is damaged or showing signs of disease. Pruning is an important part of Siberian iris maintenance as it helps produce more vibrant blooms for years to come.
