watering
Siberian iris (Iris 'Orville Fay') needs to be watered once a week. To ensure optimum growth, water the plants deeply so that the soil is evenly moist, but not soggy. Make sure that you water the plants thoroughly, so that the water reaches the roots. If the weather is dry, you may need to water more often. During the flowering season, it is important to keep the iris well-watered to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
sunlight
A Siberian iris (Iris 'Orville Fay') requires direct sunlight for a minimum of 4-6 hours each day. Full sunlight is best when the plant is in bloom. During the hottest months of the summer, finding partial shade is a good idea to ensure the plant doesn’t become stressed from excessive heat. Some filtered light or shade in the afternoon is the ideal. In the winter months, the plant should receive as much direct sunlight as possible.
pruning
Siberian iris (Iris 'Orville Fay') should be pruned in the early spring, before growth begins in earnest. Pruning should be light, removing only the older, damaged foliage; the new growth should be left intact. Pruning too much or pruning at the wrong time may reduce flowering. The optimal amount of pruning depends on personal preference, but it should not be more than about 1-third of the total foliage.
