Looking After Your Iris Ruffled Velvet

The Iris Ruffled Velvet should be planted in relatively moist but not waterlogged soil, or even next to water in full sun, partial shade.  Remove any dying foliage in autumn and the old flower stems may be cut down after flowering.  If planted in a container, will need to be divided and repotted in spring.
