How to Grow and Care for Little White Tiger Intermediate Iris
- Planting Location: Select a sunny spot with at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. This iris variety thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-draining, moderately fertile soil. Ensure the soil is slightly acidic to neutral, and amend it with compost if needed for improved drainage and fertility.
- Planting Tips: Plant rhizomes in late summer or early fall, about 2 inches below the surface of the soil. Space rhizomes 12–18 inches apart to allow for optimal air circulation and growth.
