How to Grow and Care for Scrumdiddlyumptious Tall Bearded Iris
For best results, plant the Scrumdiddlyumptious Tall Bearded Iris in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Iris plants thrive in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, which helps them produce their best blooms. The soil should be slightly acidic to neutral, with good drainage to prevent root rot. Space the plants about 12 to 18 inches apart to ensure proper airflow and growth. Water regularly during dry spells, but be careful not to overwater, as excess moisture can cause root rot. After blooming, remove spent flowers to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage new growth. In colder climates, mulching around the base of the plant can help protect it during the winter months.
