How to Grow and Care for Class Ring Tall Bearded Iris:
- Planting: Select a sunny spot with well-drained soil for optimal growth. Plant the rhizomes about 1-2 inches deep, ensuring the top of the rhizome is exposed to sunlight. Space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water the iris regularly, especially during dry spells, but ensure the soil drains well to prevent waterlogging. While the Class Ring iris is drought-tolerant once established, consistent watering promotes healthier blooms and stronger growth.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins. This will encourage strong stems and a generous number of blooms. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it may lead to weak growth and fewer flowers.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and keep the plant looking tidy. Once the foliage dies back in late summer, trim it to about 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 that the iris returns strong and healthy for the next blooming season.
