How to Grow and Care for Fall Fiesta Tall Bearded Iris:
- Planting: Select a sunny location with well-drained soil for the best growth. Plant 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 regularly, especially during dry spells, but ensure the soil drains well to prevent waterlogging. Once established, the Fall Fiesta iris is somewhat drought-tolerant, but consistent watering promotes healthier blooms.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring when new growth begins. This encourages strong growth and an abundance of vibrant flowers. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this may lead to weak growth and fewer blooms.
- Maintenance: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage additional 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 the iris will return strong and healthy for the next growing season.
