Don't bury or mulch over it. Water through the first season, then only when it's very dry. To help the fall rebloom, feed lightly with a low-nitrogen fertilizer after the first bloom and water during dry summer weeks. Cut finished flower stalks down to the base. Clear away dead leaves in late fall to cut down on iris borer. Divide crowded clumps every three to five years, in July or August.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e 'Harvest of Memories' was bred by Lloyd Zurbrigg, who got his start with irises in Listowel, Ontario, and spent much of his career breeding rebloomers for short northern seasons. It was registered in 1984 and introduced in 1985.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Thoughts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deer resistant, drought tolerant once established and happy in full sun.
