How to Grow and Care for Swerti Tall Bearded Iris
To grow the Swerti Tall Bearded Iris successfully, plant it in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Iris plants thrive in areas that receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Ensure the soil is slightly acidic to neutral, with excellent drainage to prevent waterlogged roots, which can lead to rot. Space the plants about 12 to 18 inches apart to provide ample room for growth and airflow. Water regularly during dry periods, but avoid overwatering, as irises are susceptible to root rot in excessively wet conditions. After blooming, remove spent flowers to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage new growth. In colder climates, mulching around the base of the plant can offer added protection during the winter months.
