How to Grow and Care for Stairway to Heaven Tall Bearded Iris:
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for optimal growth. Plant rhizomes about 1-2 inches deep and space them 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and to prevent overcrowding.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but ensure the soil drains well to avoid waterlogging. Bearded irises prefer slightly dry conditions once established, so avoid excessive moisture around the roots.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. This will help promote strong stems and abundant blooms. Avoid excessive fertilization, as this can lead to weak growth and fewer flowers.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage additional blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Once the foliage begins to die back in late summer, trim it back to about 3-4 inches above the ground.
- Winter Care: In colder climates, mulch around the base of the plant to protect the rhizomes from freezing temperatures. This will help ensure the iris returns in top form the following season.
