How to Grow and Care for Autumn Explosion Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Plant rhizomes in late summer or early fall in full sun and well-drained soil. The tops of the rhizomes should be slightly exposed above the soil level to prevent rot. Space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation.
- Watering: Water moderately, letting the soil dry out between waterings. Be cautious not to overwater, as this can lead to rot.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring and again after blooming to encourage strong, healthy growth.
- Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms and trim back foliage to about 6 inches in late fall to prepare the plant for winter dormancy.
