The Honey Fruit Cocktail Tall Bearded Iris performs best in full sun or partial sun, making it an ideal border plant or foundation plant. After established, this iris is drought-tolerant and enjoys medium or low-moisture with quick-draining soil.

Information About Bare Root Iris
Bare root Iris are shipped as nice fresh cut divisions with two to three fans of green tops. Keep in mind each Iris variety can have slightly different sized roots.
When planting, make sure 1/3rd of the rhizome is exposed to sunlight with the roots buried underneath. Note, it’s best to cover the rhizome with a thin layer of mulch or leaves to protect it during the coldest months but make sure to uncover in the spring.
