How to Grow and Care for Abiqua Falls Tall Bearded Iris:
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for the best 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 ensure proper air circulation and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but ensure the soil drains well to avoid waterlogging. Once established, the Abiqua Falls iris is drought-tolerant, but consistent watering promotes healthier blooms.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support strong growth and abundant blooms. Avoid over-fertilizing, as excessive nutrients can lead to weak growth and fewer flowers.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage additional blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Once the foliage dies back in late summer, trim it to around 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, ensuring the iris returns healthy in the spring.
