Water: Different irises 'Sherwood Pink' species have varying water needs: Bearded irises 'Sherwood Pink' requires infrequent watering, while Siberian irises 'Sherwood Pink' needs consistently moist soil. Most irises 'Sherwood Pink' species dislike standing water and may suffer root rot in poorly-drained soil.

Fertilize: Irises 'Sherwood Pink' thrives in humus-rich soil and should be fertilized early spring, early fall, and pre-bloom with phosphorus-rich fertilizers (5-10-5 NPK). Balanced fertilizers (20-20-20 NPK) are also effective. Watering after fertilizing enhances nutrient absorption for optimal growth.

Pruning: Irises 'Sherwood Pink' feature vibrant pink blooms. Prune dead foliage in early spring and remove spent flower stalks later to boost growth and flowering in the next cycle. Retain foliage until it's time to ensure effective photosynthesis, enhancing both appearance and vitality of the plant.

Propagation: Irises 'Sherwood Pink' propagation is best achieved through division, performed 2-3 months post-blooming. Use a sharp knife to divide with a 15 cm-long rhizome for each section. Remove old parts and trim leaves to 15 cm. Space plants 30 cm apart (15 cm for dwarf varieties).
