Care Instructions:

• Light: Jinx thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and blooming. A sunny location helps bring out the vivid colors and ensures the plant blooms profusely.
• Watering: Water Jinx deeply but avoid letting the soil become soggy. This iris prefers well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Water regularly, particularly during dry spells, but always ensure the soil has good drainage to avoid excess moisture around the rhizomes.
• Temperature: Hardy in USDA Zones 3-9, Jinx is adaptable to a range of climates. It thrives in moderate to warm summers and cool to cold winters, making it suitable for most temperate regions.
• Soil: Jinx prefers well-draining, fertile soil. It performs best in slightly acidic to neutral soil. If your soil is clay-based, improve drainage by adding compost or sand. Ensuring proper drainage around the rhizomes is key to healthy growth.
• Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms and prevent energy from being spent on seed production. In late summer, cut back any dead or yellowing leaves to keep the plant tidy. Dividing the rhizomes every 3-4 years ensures continued health and abundant blooms.
• Division: Dividing your Jinx iris every 3-4 years helps maintain vigorous growth and blooming. The best time to divide is in late summer or early fall, after the blooming period has ended. Ensure each rhizome division has healthy roots and a fan of leaves to thrive.

Shipping and Planting Details:

• Shipped as Rhizomes: Jinx is shipped as bare-root rhizomes, carefully selected for quality and vitality. These rhizomes are packaged to ensure they arrive in excellent condition, ready to be planted.
• Planting Instructions:
  1. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
  2. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the rhizome, ensuring the top is just above the soil surface.
  3. Spread the roots out beneath the rhizome and make sure it’s not planted too deep.
  4. Space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to give them room to grow and bloom.
  5. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the rhizomes.
  6. Apply a light layer of mulch around the plant to retain moisture and help with temperature regulation, but avoid covering the rhizome itself.
