How to Grow and Care for Blueberry Filly Intermediate Iris
- Planting Location: Blueberry Filly thrives in full sun, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. While it can tolerate some light shade, full sun ensures the most vibrant and prolific blooms.
- Soil Conditions: Well-drained soil is essential for optimal growth. Blueberry Filly does well in slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0). Enriching the soil with organic compost or well-rotted manure can improve drainage and provide necessary nutrients.
- Planting Tips: For best results, plant the rhizomes in early fall or early spring, with the top of the rhizome just exposed above the soil. Space the rhizomes about 12–18 inches apart to allow room for growth.
- Watering Needs: Water Blueberry Filly moderately, keeping the soil evenly moist but never soggy. Overwatering or poorly draining soil can lead to root rot, so ensure the soil drains well.
- Maintenance: Remove dead flowers to encourage additional blooms and trim any yellowing or damaged leaves. Dividing the rhizomes every 3–4 years will help maintain plant health and encourage more vigorous blooms.
