How to prune netted iris

After flowering in late winter to early spring; foliage allowed to die back naturally. Snap or snip off the faded flower at the stem. Leave all foliage to photosynthesize and wither naturally — typically by early summer — before tidying away the dead leaves.

Annually, minimal intervention. Netted Iris is a tiny bulb that rarely needs pruning. Remove spent flowers once they fade. Allow the narrow foliage to die back completely on its own — this is critical for bulb regeneration. No cutting of green leaves. These are minimal-maintenance bulbs best left undisturbed.
