How to Grow and Care for Berry Fulfilling 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 allow for proper air circulation and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water moderately, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Be mindful not to overwater, as this can lead to rhizome rot.
- Fertilizing: Apply a low-nitrogen, balanced fertilizer in early spring to support healthy foliage and vibrant blooms. Fertilize again after blooming to encourage continued plant growth.
- Maintenance: Remove spent flowers to promote more blooms, and trim back foliage in late fall. Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years to keep the plant healthy and maintain consistent flowering.
