How to Grow and Care for Gypsy Lord Tall Bearded Iris:
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for the best results. Plant the rhizomes about 1-2 inches deep, ensuring the top of the rhizome is exposed to sunlight. Space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to ensure good air circulation and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but ensure the soil drains well to avoid waterlogging. Once established, the Gypsy Lord iris is somewhat drought-tolerant, but consistent watering promotes healthier blooms and stronger growth.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring when new growth begins. This will encourage strong growth and vibrant flowers. Avoid excessive fertilization, as too much nitrogen can lead to weak stems and fewer blooms.
- Maintenance: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage further blooms and keep the plant looking tidy. 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. This helps ensure the iris returns strong and healthy the following season.
