How to Grow and Care for Niagara Mist Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Plant rhizomes in late summer or early fall in a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Position the rhizomes so that the tops are slightly above the soil surface to prevent rot. Space them 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation.
- Watering: Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid over-watering, as this can cause root rot.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring and after blooming to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
- Pruning: Remove spent blooms and trim back foliage to about 6 inches in late fall to prepare the plant for winter dormancy.
