watering
Generally, Siberian iris plants should be watered regularly, but lightly, every 3-4 days. It is important not to overwater them, as the soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between watering sessions. During hot weather, they should be watered more frequently, and possibly in the evening to help cool the plant in the heat. If you are unsure if the soil is wet enough, it is best to check with a finger or a moisture meter. It is also important to keep the soil evenly moist, as the plant does not like to be overly wet or overly dry.
sunlight
Siberian iris (Iris 'Sky Wings') thrives in full sun. It does best if it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, particularly in the morning. This flower can tolerate some afternoon shade, but it will flower best if it gets the full morning sun. Siberian iris prefers cooler climates and is hardy down to USDA Zone 4. In warm climates, it is important to provide afternoon shade or some other kind of protection from the afternoon heat. This will help to preserve the flower's color and keep it blooming longer.
pruning
Siberian iris (Iris 'Sky Wings') should be pruned in late spring (around May) after the blooming has finished. Remove any dead flower stems from the plant and then thin out any crowded foliage. This will help improve the overall shape and vigor of the plant. Make sure to leave enough foliage to cover the roots of the plant. For heavier pruning, prune the stems back to about 8-10 inches from the ground in order to help promote new growth and increase the overall size and shape of the plant.
