How to Grow and Care for Starring Tall Bearded Iris:
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for optimal growth. Plant rhizomes about 1-2 inches deep, with the top of the rhizome exposed to sunlight. Space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but ensure the soil drains well to prevent waterlogging. Once established, the Starring iris is drought-tolerant, but consistent watering promotes healthier blooms.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins. This encourages strong growth and abundant blooms. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it may result in weak growth and fewer flowers.
- Maintenance: Remove spent flowers to encourage new blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Once the foliage dies back in late summer, trim it to about 3-4 inches above the ground.
- Winter Care: In colder climates, mulch around the base of the plant to protect the rhizomes from freezing temperatures. This helps ensure the iris will return in top form for the next blooming season.
