How to Grow and Care for Mocha Frappe Tall Bearded Iris

This iris thrives with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, which promotes vibrant and healthy flowers. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil and requires excellent drainage to avoid root rot. Space the plants about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and prevent overcrowding.
