The recommendation is to avoid overhead watering or wetting the foliage to prevent Botrytis. It also helps to allow the soil to dry a bit between waterings.

Added five fans & rebloomed beginning mid-late October after planting in July (border of 6b/7a). Most growers note this as a reliable rebloomer.

This is a lovely iris. It re-bloomed the week of Halloween in 2012 and 2013 when I had it planted in full sun (border of zone 6b/7a). I moved it so that it receives brief mid-day shade in September & October. 2015 it re-bloomed In September & still has a couple flowers left October 31st. This seems to be a reliable fall re-bloomer here, although it doesn't always bloom in the spring.
