How to Grow and Care for Wench Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil to plant your rhizomes. Plant them in late summer or early fall, burying the rhizomes about 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
- Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to establish roots. Once the iris is established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering, especially in dry conditions. Be sure to water at the base of the plant to avoid getting the foliage wet, which could encourage fungal diseases.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring before the new growth appears and again after blooming to promote continued healthy growth and vibrant flowers.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and keep the plant looking neat. Remove any yellowing or damaged foliage as needed. Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years in late summer to prevent overcrowding and maintain strong growth.
