Iris setosa is suitable to be grown in the front of a border, on the sunny edge of a woodland garden, or in a bog garden The iris prefer to grow in moist or wet soils, though it can adapt to various conditions, including partially dry conditions if there is part shade.

In mild temperate areas, the leaves are evergreen, (surviving the winter). But it is best to tidy up the plant and trim the leaves back before the winter, this reduces wind rockage (and root disturbance), then in spring, new leaves will emerge.
