How to Grow and Care for Pirate Ahoy Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Plant rhizomes with their tops just above the soil surface, spacing them 12-18 inches apart to allow proper air circulation and growth.
- Watering: Water moderately, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. Be cautious of overwatering, as iris rhizomes do not thrive in soggy conditions.
- Fertilizing: Use a low-nitrogen, balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after blooming to support healthy growth and vibrant flowers.
- Maintenance: Remove spent flowers to encourage additional blooms, and trim back foliage in late fall. Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years to maintain plant health and ensure consistent blooming.
