watering
Tall bearded reblooming iris (Iris 'Winterland') prefers lightly moist soil, so aim for an inch of water per week. Water the plant deeply and allow it to dry out slightly between waterings. During peak growing season in the spring and early summer, you can bump up the amount of water to 1.5 to 2 inches per week. During the winter, reduce the amount of water you give the plant. Check the soil moisture level weekly and water when it feels slightly dry to the touch.
sunlight
Tall bearded reblooming iris (Iris 'Winterland') requires full sun, which means at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. It is best grown in areas where it receives direct, full sun from around 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. If planted in partial shade, the iris may not bloom as frequently or as abundantly.
pruning
Iris ‘Winterland’ should be pruned twice a year. Late in spring, you will want to cut your tall bearded re-blooming Iris back to 8 to 10 inches tall. This will encourage strong, healthy growth during the blooming period in the summer. In the fall, cut the plant back to 4 to 6 inches tall. Pruning should be done after the bloom cycle has ended.
