How to Grow and Care for Black Lipstick Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Plant rhizomes with the tops slightly exposed above the soil surface, spacing them 12-18 inches apart for proper airflow.
- Watering: Water sparingly after planting and during dry periods, keeping the soil lightly moist but not waterlogged to avoid root rot.
- Fertilizing: Apply a low-nitrogen, balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after blooming to encourage healthy growth and future flowering.
- Maintenance: Remove spent blooms to prolong the bloom season and trim back foliage in late fall. Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years to maintain plant health and ensure consistent blooming.
