How to Grow and Care for Center Ice 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 promote proper air circulation and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water moderately, keeping the soil moist but not overly saturated. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to rhizome rot.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring to encourage strong growth and vibrant blooms. Fertilize again after blooming to support continued plant health and growth.
- Maintenance: Remove spent flowers to encourage additional blooms, and trim back foliage in late fall. Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years to maintain plant health and ensure consistent blooming.
