How to Prune Zigzag iris?
(Iris brevicaulis)
Zigzag iris, also known as Leafy blue flag
Known for its unique zigzag stem and blue-violet flowers, zigzag iris benefits from selective pruning to enhance its aesthetics and health. Prune dead or damaged stems in early spring to encourage new growth. During summer, trim back spent blooms to promote a second flowering. Regular deadheading also prevents self-seeding and preserves the plant's vibrant appearance. This timely pruning ensures robust growth and flowering, making it crucial for maintaining the plant's structural integrity and visual appeal.
