I am assuming that you are growing TB (tall bearded) iris.  In which
case I am amazed that you can interplant with daylilies, which I keep
mulched and watered here, something I don't do with my TB's.  Do you
mulch and water the entire area, selectively mulch the daylilies, or
have a mild enough climate to not require summer mulch and water for the
daylilies?
