How to Grow and Care for Old Sport Tall Bearded Iris
Plant the Old Sport Tall Bearded Iris in well-drained soil with full sun exposure for optimal growth and blooming. It thrives in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, which helps promote strong, vibrant flowers. The iris prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil with good drainage to prevent root rot. Space the plants about 12 to 18 inches apart to ensure proper air circulation and room for growth. Water regularly during dry periods, but avoid overwatering, as too much moisture can cause root rot and fungal issues. After blooming, deadhead the flowers to maintain a neat appearance and encourage further growth. In colder climates, consider applying a light layer of mulch around the base to protect the plant during the winter months.
