How to Grow and Care for Downtown Brown Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny spot 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 waterlogged. Overwatering can cause rhizome rot, so it's important to maintain a balanced moisture level.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy foliage and abundant blooms. Fertilize again after blooming to support continued plant growth.
