How to Grow and Care for Benson Dwarf Iris
- Planting: Select a sunny or partially shaded location with well-draining soil. Plant rhizomes in late summer or early fall, ensuring they are placed just below the soil surface. Space them 6-8 inches apart for proper growth.
- Watering: Water lightly after planting to establish roots. Once established, the Benson Dwarf Iris is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering, only during prolonged dry spells.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring before new growth emerges, and again after blooming to encourage healthy growth and vibrant flowers.
- Maintenance: Remove spent blooms and any yellowing foliage to maintain a neat appearance. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in late summer to keep the plant healthy and promote continued blooming.
