#ProPlantTips for Care:
So, how much work will the Halloween Halo Tall Bearded Iris require? Not much! This bright and robust iris is deer-resistant, rabbit-resistant, and drought-tolerant once established. Bearded Irises performs best in full sun or partial shade which makes it quite versatile. It also does best in medium or low-moisture, well-drained soil. When you first plant your Halloween Halo, allow its rhizome to stick up above the soil and water it well for the first few weeks. All plants appreciate a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch over their roots, especially Iris rhizomes prefer only to be partially covered.
Prune your Iris foliage back in late fall near the ground and cover it with an additional layer of mulch. The German Iris will be ready to divide and thin after about two to three years. You don't have to worry about rabbits or deer munching on them either.
