How to Grow and Care for Bravery Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Plant rhizomes with their tops just above the soil surface, spacing them 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water moderately, ensuring the soil stays moist but not soggy. Overwatering can lead to rhizome rot, so it’s important to maintain balanced moisture levels.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy foliage and vibrant blooms. Fertilize again after blooming to encourage continued growth.
- Maintenance: Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms and trim back foliage in late fall. Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years to maintain plant health and ensure consistent blooming.
