How to Grow and Care for Cantina Tall Bearded Iris:
- Planting: Select a sunny location with well-drained soil for the best results. Plant rhizomes about 1-2 inches deep, ensuring the top of the rhizome is exposed to sunlight. Space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to allow for healthy air circulation and growth.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but ensure the soil drains well to prevent waterlogging. Once established, the Cantina iris is drought-tolerant, though consistent watering helps produce healthier blooms.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring when new growth begins. This will encourage strong growth and abundant blooms. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it may result in weak growth and fewer flowers.
- Maintenance: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage additional blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Once the foliage dies back in late summer, trim it to about 3-4 inches above the ground.
- Winter Care: In colder climates, mulch around the base of the plant to protect the rhizomes from freezing temperatures, ensuring the iris will return strong the following season.
