How to Grow and Care for Bumblebee Deelite Intermediate Iris

  • Planting Location: This iris thrives in full sun, ideally receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. It can tolerate partial shade but will produce the most vibrant blooms in sunny locations.
  • Soil Conditions: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (between 6.0 and 7.0). Well-draining soil is essential to prevent waterlogging around the roots.
  • Planting Tips: Plant the rhizomes in early spring or fall. Ensure the tops of the rhizomes are just above soil level. Space them about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
  • Watering Needs: Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist. Be cautious not to overwater, as this can cause root rot. Ensure proper drainage to avoid stagnant water around the rhizomes.
  • Maintenance: After blooming, cut back dead flowers and foliage to maintain a tidy appearance. Divide the rhizomes every 3 to 4 years to prevent overcrowding and ensure strong, healthy growth.
