Carmen,
I expected you would have had more than one reply by now, but sometimes yahoo
is pretty slow... Anyway, you might want to check the "Growing" page again.
Bearded iris are more like light feeders, in that you want to make sure they
don't get too much nitrogen. To oversimplify, the beardless iris tend to be
the heavy feeders and waterers... For your TBs you might want an even
10-10-10 in the fall and a 0-10-10 in the spring... but a lot depends on your
existing soil condition.
