How to Grow and Care for Silverado Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Plant rhizomes with the tops slightly exposed above the soil surface and space them 12-18 inches apart to ensure good air circulation.
- Watering: Water sparingly after planting and during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains slightly moist but not waterlogged.
- Fertilizing: Apply a low-nitrogen, balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after blooming to support strong growth and consistent blooming.
