A SELECTED LIST OF TALL BEARDED IRIS 
CULTURE 
Tall Bearded Iris will give excellent 
results in any fertile soil with reason- 
able drainage and exposure to sunlight. 
Whether the soil is neutral, slightly acid 
or calcareous makes little or no differ- 
ence Plants should be set out so that 
the rootstock (rhizome) is barely under- 
ground. If soil is dry when planting is 
done a thorough soaking is beneficial 
but after the plants become established 
they require very little moisture after 
blooming. When the plants become too 
crowded or decrease in their flowering, 
division is likely necessary. Bearded 
iris will grow but not bloom properly in 
a shaded location.
