How to Grow and Care for Penny Lane Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for optimal growth. Plant rhizomes in late summer or early fall, placing them 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Space rhizomes about 12-18 inches apart to ensure good airflow and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to establish strong roots. Once established, the Penny Lane Tall Bearded Iris is drought-tolerant and needs minimal watering. Water at the base of the plant to avoid getting the foliage wet, as this can encourage fungal diseases.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins, and again after blooming to support continued growth and vibrant flowers.
- Maintenance: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and keep the plant looking tidy. Trim any yellowing or damaged leaves as needed. Divide rhizomes every 3-4 years in late summer to prevent overcrowding and promote healthy growth.
