Care Instructions:

• Light: The Rhythm of Love iris thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce the best blooms. Sunlight encourages strong growth and ensures vibrant colors, so be sure to plant this iris in a sunny location for optimal performance.
• Watering: While the Rhythm of Love iris is drought-tolerant once established, it performs best with regular watering during the growing season. Keep the soil evenly moist but well-drained, as irises do not like to sit in soggy soil. Water deeply, but avoid waterlogging.
• Temperature: Hardy in USDA Zones 3-9, Rhythm of Love thrives in moderate temperatures with cool winters and warm summers. This iris variety can tolerate a range of climates, but it’s best protected from harsh frost during the winter months to preserve the rhizomes.
• Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil is key to the success of Rhythm of Love. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, improve drainage by mixing in organic matter or sand. Well-draining soil ensures healthy root development and vibrant blooms.
• Maintenance: After blooming, remove spent flowers to keep the plant looking tidy and to prevent the energy from being directed to seed production. Once the blooms have faded, cut back any yellowing or dying foliage to maintain a neat appearance. Dividing the rhizomes every 3-4 years is recommended to prevent overcrowding and maintain healthy, vigorous growth.
• Division: To keep Rhythm of Love blooming profusely, divide the rhizomes every 3-4 years. When dividing, make sure to space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to ensure proper air circulation and room for growth.

Shipping and Planting Details:

• Shipped as Rhizomes: The Rhythm of Love iris is shipped as bare-root rhizomes, carefully selected for their health and vigor. These rhizomes are ready for planting and will quickly establish in your garden to produce vibrant blooms.
• Planting Instructions:
  1. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
  2. Dig a hole deep enough to accommodate the rhizome, ensuring that the top of the rhizome sits just above the soil surface.
  3. Space the rhizomes 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
  4. Water thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil around the rhizomes.
  5. Apply a light layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, but avoid covering the rhizome itself.
