Dwarf iris generally prefers full sun to light shade and well-drained soil. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established. Planting depth is crucial; the rhizome should be just at or slightly below the soil surface. It is suitable for rock gardens, borders, and containers. Deadheading spent flowers can improve the plant's appearance.
