Care Instructions:

• Light: The Lovely Senorita iris thrives in full sun and requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce its best blooms. A sunny location will help the plant grow tall and strong, producing vibrant flowers with optimal color.
• Watering: Irises prefer moist, well-drained soil, and although they are relatively drought-tolerant once established, they will perform best when given regular watering during dry periods. Be sure to water deeply to encourage healthy root development, but avoid waterlogging, as irises are prone to rot in overly wet conditions.
• Temperature: Hardy in USDA Zones 3-9, the Lovely Senorita iris is versatile and can thrive in a range of climates. It does well in areas with cold winters and warm summers, making it ideal for both northern and southern gardens.
• Soil: These irises perform best in well-draining, fertile soil. Ideally, the soil should be slightly acidic to neutral in pH. If your soil is heavy or clay-based, improve drainage by adding organic matter, such as compost or sand. Proper drainage is critical for preventing root rot and ensuring healthy growth.
• Maintenance: After the blooms have faded, deadhead the spent flowers to encourage the plant to focus on new growth and prevent seed production. Trim the foliage back once it has yellowed in late fall. To keep the Lovely Senorita iris thriving, divide the rhizomes every 3-4 years to avoid overcrowding and promote vigorous growth.
• Division: Dividing irises helps maintain their health and vigor. The best time to divide is in late summer or early fall, after the blooming period. Each division should have a healthy fan of leaves and roots. Space the new plants 12-18 inches apart to allow them room to grow.

Shipping and Planting Details:

• Shipped as Rhizomes: The Lovely Senorita Bearded Iris is shipped as bare-root rhizomes. These high-quality rhizomes are selected to ensure healthy, vibrant blooms and are ready to be planted as soon as they arrive.
• Planting Instructions:
  1. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
  2. Dig a hole deep enough to accommodate the rhizome, with the top of the rhizome just above the soil surface.
  3. Spread the roots beneath the rhizome and position it correctly in the hole.
  4. Space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth.
  5. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the rhizome.
  6. Apply a light layer of mulch around the base of the plant, but avoid covering the rhizome itself.
