Care Instructions:

• Light: Like all irises, Frequent Flyer thrives in full sun. Plant it in a location where it will receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for the best growth and flowering.
• Watering: While irises are relatively drought-tolerant once established, they perform best when watered regularly, especially during dry periods. Make sure the soil is well-draining to avoid waterlogging, which can cause root rot.
• Temperature: Hardy in USDA Zones 3-9, Frequent Flyer can tolerate a wide range of climates, from cold winters to warm summers. It does best in areas with cool winters and moderate, dry summers but is adaptable to various conditions if the soil is well-drained.
• Soil: Frequent Flyer prefers fertile, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. If your soil is heavy or clay-based, amend it with organic matter or sand to improve drainage.
• Maintenance: After blooming, deadhead spent flowers to keep the plant looking tidy. In late fall, cut back the foliage to the ground to prepare the plant for winter. Dividing the rhizomes every 3-4 years will help keep the plant healthy and productive.

  1. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
