How to Grow and Care for Marsh Mist Intermediate Iris
- Planting Location: Choose a location that receives full sun for the best blooms. While it can tolerate light shade, more sunlight will ensure a healthier, more vibrant plant.
- Soil Conditions: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil. It thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soil, so amend the soil as needed to ensure proper drainage and pH.
- Planting Tips: Plant the rhizomes in early fall, spacing them about 12–18 inches apart. Plant them so the tops of the rhizomes are just above the soil surface for optimal root development and bloom production.
- Watering Needs: Keep the soil moist, especially during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming. After the flowering season, trim back the spent stems. Divide rhizomes every 3–4 years to maintain healthy growth and promote more blooms.
