Growing & Maintenance Tips for Iris ensata 'Queen's Tiara'

Iris ensata grow best in a rich, moist to wet soil, in full sun or partial shade. These cultivars are not tolerant of dry conditions, and are best sited along wet, pond edges or streams. During the growing season they thrive with their roots submerged, however, the water should be removed during the winter months to avoid root rot.
