watering
Siberian iris (Iris 'Bird Feeder') should be watered thoroughly every 7-10 days when temperatures are above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Water should be applied until runoff begins to emerge from the bottom of the pot. During hotter months, the plant may require more frequent watering. However, it is important to avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot. Additionally, the plant should be fertilized once per month with a balanced fertilizer formulated for flowering plants.
sunlight
Siberian Iris (Iris 'Bird Feeder') grows best in a location with partial sunlight. This plant prefers 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Though the Siberian Iris can tolerate full sun for short periods of time, it is important to limit direct sun exposure during the warmer months. When in full sun, it is important to keep the soil evenly moist as this plant does not take well to dry conditions. Furthermore, Siberian Iris grows best in areas with morning sun and afternoon shade, or dappled conditions.
pruning
Siberian iris (Iris 'Bird Feeder') should be pruned in late spring after bloom has finished. Pruning should include deadheading, removing spent blooms to encourage new growth and keep the plant looking neat. Additionally, any overly tall plants should be cut back to control height. This can be done by cutting just above the base of a leaf where a new stem can sprout. As a general rule of thumb, around 1-third of the entire stalk should be removed. This pruning will promote longer, sturdier stems and larger flowers.
