Lousiana Iris require consistently moist soil, making them highly suitable for bogs and water gardens. I've got several growing in boggy areas of my landscape and one growing in a container submerged just beneath the water surface in my garden pond.

I don't do much pruning except to remove leaves and flowers that have faded. The flowers are excellent for cutting.

I fertilize my Lousiana Iris in spring before they bloom with a mild well-balanced flower food.
