How to Grow and Care for Garden Time Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Plant rhizomes with the tops slightly exposed above the soil surface, spaced 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper airflow.
- Watering: Water sparingly after planting and only during dry periods. Be careful not to overwater, as irises prefer slightly drier conditions.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring and after blooming to encourage healthy growth and continued blooming.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to prolong the bloom season and trim back foliage in late fall. Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years to maintain plant health and vigor.
