tall bearded reblooming iris

Tall bearded reblooming iris (Iris 'Garden Grace') should be watered once every 3-5 days during the growing season to ensure the plants have adequate moisture. When watering, take care to water deeply but not too frequently, as too much water can lead to fungal diseases. For best results, water the plants in the morning so the foliage has time to dry in the sun. In the spring and summer, water until the soil is moist but not soggy. In the fall and winter, reduce the amount of water, allowing the plant to go dormant as winter approaches.

Iris 'Garden Grace' is a tall bearded reblooming iris that needs full sun to flourish. This means at least 6 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day, which is best when given midday, when the intensity of the sun's rays is highest. During the spring and summer months, Iris 'Garden Grace' will benefit from full sun exposure for the majority of the day. It is important to provide as much light as possible to the iris, as less sun may result in fewer flowers on the iris bloom.

Tall bearded reblooming iris (Iris 'Garden Grace') should be pruned once a year in the early spring, just before new growth begins. Prune the iris by removing all dead and diseased foliage and stems, as well as flower spikes that have already bloomed. Leave at least 2 or 3 healthy leaves on each stem, and cut the stems back to about 6-8 inches from the soil. This will encourage new growth and a healthier plant. When pruning, be sure to use clean, sharp pruning shears and be sure to dispose of the clippings away from the garden.
