Hi Deb,

I have 2 different types of Japanese Iris. Quite honestly, I find them SUPER easy.
Initially when I dug their holes, I broke up some clay plant pots and put them in the bottom of the hole (to retain moisture) as our soil is completely acidic sand. There was a fire years ago that wiped out this whole side of town.
I water as often as I can but mine don't seem to require as much water as I thought they would. They seem very happy and multiply nicely. Very hardy here in Maine.

I hope this helps.

Kim
