How to Grow and Care for Island Blush Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Plant rhizomes in late summer or early fall in full sun and well-drained soil. Position rhizomes so that the tops are slightly exposed above the soil surface to avoid rot. Space them 12-18 inches apart for optimal growth and airflow.
- Watering: Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Be careful not to overwater to avoid root rot.
- Fertilizing: Use a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring and again after blooming to support healthy growth and blooming.
- Pruning: Remove spent blooms regularly and trim back foliage to about 6 inches in late fall to prepare for winter dormancy.
- Dividing: Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years to ensure plant vigor and promote more prolific blooms.
