This is a quote from the World of Irises blog from 2011.
The basic culture for spurias is dry ground or no wet feet except in rainy periods. Spurias will grow just about everywhere in the US. They will grow from the deep south to the farther reaches of Canada. They also will certainly grow on the west coast and east coast. In the cooler climates they will bloom after the tall bearded irises. In the warmer states like southern Texas, Arizona, and California they will often bloom with the tall bearded irises.

It has been years since I had any spurias but they are great in arrangements. I did a table setting once with Archie Owen (bright yellow) and a black set of dishes. When I get my yard more in order I am going to try some again under my eaves where I can control the water.
