I made the mistake of making my own fertilizer mix this year and ended up with a much lower yield of blooms than in years past. And yes, lots of leaves. In the past, I would use 5-10-10, but this year I tried to make my own 10-20-20. Well maybe that 10 really kicked in cause I got leaves, whole gardens of them.
But that brings up a question for you Iris experts. When did this years blooms get created? At the end of last Spring or early this Spring or both? I may be blaming this year's fertilizer when it was really something I did last year.
