How to Grow and Care for Boston Cream Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Plant rhizomes in late summer or early fall, positioning them about 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Space rhizomes 12-18 inches apart for good air circulation and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to help establish strong roots. Once established, the Boston Cream Tall Bearded Iris is drought-tolerant and needs minimal watering. Be sure to water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage and reducing the risk of fungal diseases.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring before new growth appears and again after blooming to support vibrant flowers and healthy foliage.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and keep the plant looking tidy. Remove any yellowing or damaged foliage throughout the season. Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years in late summer to prevent overcrowding and ensure continuous strong growth.
