How to Grow and Care for Summer Olympics 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 for proper airflow and growth.
- Watering: Water moderately, ensuring the soil stays moist but not overly wet. Avoid overwatering, as this can cause rhizome rot.
- Fertilizing: Use a low-nitrogen, balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after blooming to encourage strong growth and vibrant blooms.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms, and trim back foliage in late fall. Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years to maintain plant health and prevent overcrowding.
