How to Grow and Care for Parable Intermediate Iris
- Planting Location: Parable thrives in full sun but can tolerate light shade. For optimal growth and flowering, plant it in a sunny spot where it will receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Soil Conditions: This iris prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Prepare the soil by mixing in organic matter to improve drainage and provide essential nutrients.
- Planting Tips: Plant rhizomes in early fall for the best results. Ensure they are placed just above the soil surface, with the top of the rhizome slightly exposed to the air. Space each rhizome 12–18 inches apart to allow room for growth and air circulation.
