Iris cycloglossa

I've grown them for 3 years now (bloomed this year & last) in my garden in
Cincinnati Ohio. I don't do anything special. It is in regular garden
soil, and it gets no special water in the summer. In midafternoon the
clump is under the shade of a very tall maple tree.
However, I must say that they are not particularly thriving. They do grow
& bloom, but compared to my other irises (regular bearded kind) they show
very little sign of increasing from year to year.

Is anyone growing this successfully enough to reliably get flowers?
If so, what kind of soil mix do you use and what is your watering
regimen in summer? Do you dry it off completely and bake it in the
sun, give it dry shade, keep it cool and damp, or what?
And what about fertilization?
