How to Grow and Care for Sunny Glitter Tall Bearded Iris
- Planting: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Plant rhizomes with their tops just above the soil surface, spacing them 12-18 inches apart to ensure proper air circulation and healthy growth.
- Watering: Water moderately, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to rhizome rot.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy foliage and abundant blooms. Fertilize again after blooming to encourage continued growth and healthy roots.
