For optimal growth, plant the Mille Soleils Tall Bearded Iris in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. It thrives best when it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. This iris variety prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil, and good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
