How to Grow and Care for Blueberry Shortcake Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Plant rhizomes in late summer or early fall in a spot with full sun and well-drained soil. Position the rhizomes so that the tops are slightly above the soil surface to avoid rot. Space plants 12-18 inches apart for proper airflow.

- Fertilizing: Use a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring and after blooming to promote healthy growth and vibrant flowers.
- Pruning: Remove spent blooms and trim back foliage to about 6 inches in late fall to prepare the iris for winter dormancy.
- Dividing: Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years to maintain vigor and encourage continued blooming.
