How to Grow and Care for Beckoning Dwarf Iris:
- Planting: Choose a well-drained location that receives full sun to partial shade. Plant bulbs about 3-4 inches deep and space them 4-6 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent root rot. The Beckoning Dwarf Iris prefers moist soil but can tolerate slightly drier conditions once established.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins. This encourages healthy blooms and strong growth throughout the growing season.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to keep the plant looking neat and encourage further blooms. Once the foliage dies back in late spring, trim it to about 3-4 inches above the ground.
- Winter Care: In colder climates, mulch around the base of the plant to protect it from freezing temperatures. This ensures that the bulbs are well-protected and ready to bloom again in the spring.
