Cultivation
This dwarf Iris requires outdoor living conditions in typical garden loam. Iris prefers things on the dry side, so place it in a bed that gets plenty of sun and not too much water. Avoid overwatering. Use light, natural fertilizer monthly for feeding at the rhizomes. Every three to five years you can dig up your clump of Purring Tigers along with other Iris and divide out the rhizomes and spread to other beds.
