It is best to prune back the Blue Lis after flowering, usually in late summer. Remove spent flowers and cut back the dead or excessive foliage to encourage the growth of new flowers next season.
Yes, the Blue Lis is hardy in many climates, although it is a good idea to protect the base of the plant with mulch if you live in an area with very cold winters. This helps to insulate the roots from freezing.
