How to Grow and Care for Starlight Parade Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Plant rhizomes in late summer or early fall in full sun and well-drained soil. Position the rhizomes so that the tops are slightly above the soil surface to prevent rot. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation.

- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring and again after blooming to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms.
- Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms and trim back foliage to about 6 inches in late fall to prepare for winter dormancy.
