How to Grow and Care for Restless Spirit Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Plant rhizomes in late summer or early fall in full sun and well-drained soil. Position rhizomes so their tops are slightly exposed above the soil to prevent rot. Space plants 12-18 inches apart for good airflow.
- Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can damage the rhizomes.
- Fertilizing: Apply a low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring and again after blooming to encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering.
- Pruning: Remove faded blooms promptly to encourage further flowering. Trim foliage to about 6 inches in late fall to prepare the plant for dormancy.
