How to Grow and Care for Family Pride Tall Bearded Iris
Plant the Family Pride Tall Bearded Iris in well-drained soil with full sun exposure for optimal growth and blooming. This iris thrives with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to produce vibrant, healthy flowers. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil with excellent drainage to prevent root rot. Space the plants about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for good air circulation and prevent overcrowding.
