How to Grow and Care for Halston Intermediate Iris
- Planting Location: Halston Iris thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. For optimal flowering, plant it in an area that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
- Soil Conditions: Halston Iris prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0). Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter and well-drained to prevent waterlogging.
- Planting Tips: Plant rhizomes in early spring or fall. Position the top of the rhizome slightly above soil level, and space the plants 12–18 inches apart to allow for adequate growth.
- Watering Needs: Water consistently, but avoid over-watering. Keep the soil moist during the growing season, but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Water less frequently once the plant has finished blooming and is entering dormancy.
- Maintenance: After blooming, cut back spent flowers to maintain the plant’s appearance. Once the foliage begins to die back, trim it to ground level. Dividing the rhizomes every 3–4 years will help to rejuvenate the plant and promote better flowering.
