How to Grow and Care for Catch Your Breath Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Select a sunny location with well-drained soil to ensure healthy growth. Plant rhizomes in late summer or early fall, positioning them 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water the iris deeply after planting to encourage strong root development. Once established, the Catch Your Breath Tall Bearded Iris is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, which can promote fungal growth.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring, just before new growth begins, and again after blooming to promote continued health and vibrant flowers.
- Maintenance: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage additional blooms and maintain the plant’s neat appearance. Trim any yellowing or damaged leaves as needed. Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years in late summer to prevent overcrowding and maintain healthy growth.
