watering
The Siberian iris (Iris 'White Swirl') should be watered about once a week, ensuring the soil is kept moist but not soggy. When watering, soak the soil thoroughly but avoid getting water on its foliage. In periods of extreme heat the iris may require more than once-a-week watering. At times when watering is not needed, feel the soil around the iris – if it is dry, a thorough watering is likely needed. Also, be aware that during periods of drought, the Siberian iris might require extra water.
sunlight
Siberian iris (Iris 'White Swirl') enjoys sunny conditions. It should receive at least 6 to 8 hours of sunshine per day, preferably in the morning or late afternoon to prevent any dehydration from the midday heat. This plant will not thrive in full shade, though it can tolerate partial shade in the afternoon, particularly during hot, sunny summer days.
pruning
Siberian iris (Iris 'White Swirl') should be pruned twice per year - once in early spring and then again in late summer or fall. For the spring pruning, wait to prune until the new growth has appeared. Cut away any brown foliage or winter-damaged stems and remove any self-seeded seedlings. In late summer or fall, remove any dead or damaged foliage. Cut back any of the spent stems with shears. This will give the plant a tidy and neat overall appearance and will also help promote new growth in the spring.
