How to Grow and Care for China Moon Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Plant rhizomes with their tops just above the soil surface, spacing them 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water moderately, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Ensure the soil drains well to prevent rhizome rot.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and vibrant blooms. A second round of fertilizer after flowering can help promote continued growth.
- Maintenance: Remove spent flowers to encourage new blooms, and trim back foliage in late fall. Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years to maintain plant health and optimal blooming.
