How to Grow and Care for Art Deco Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Plant rhizomes with their tops just above the soil surface, spacing them 12-18 inches apart to ensure good air circulation and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water moderately, ensuring the soil remains moist but not overly wet. Avoid overwatering to prevent rhizome rot.
- Fertilizing: Apply a low-nitrogen, balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after blooming to support continued growth and vibrant blooms.
- Maintenance: Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms, and trim back foliage in late fall. Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years to maintain plant health and blooming consistency.
