How to Grow and Care for Swingtown Tall Bearded Iris:
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for optimal growth. Plant the rhizomes about 1-2 inches deep, ensuring the top of the rhizome is exposed to sunlight. Space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to ensure proper air circulation and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but ensure the soil drains well to prevent waterlogging. Once established, the Swingtown iris is drought-tolerant, though consistent watering helps promote more abundant blooms and healthier growth.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring when new growth begins. This will encourage strong stems and an abundance of blooms. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to weak growth and fewer flowers.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage further blooming and maintain a neat 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 ensures the iris returns strong and healthy for the next growing season.
