#ProPlantTips for Care:
While the top athletes that compete in the Tour De France train their entire lives to be able to compete, this Iris won't make you break a sweat when it comes to maintenance. It's easy to care for, especially once established! For best results, plant your Tour De France Tall Bearded Iris grows from fleshy rhizomes, so it does best in well-drained soil that will never become soggy. It also prefers moderate to low-moisture soil once established.
When you plant yours, ensure water can easily shed away from the area, mounded berms being the best. Once established, this German Iris variety is relatively drought tolerant! Cover the roots with a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch to hold moisture in the soil better and insulate the rhizomes.
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. Container plants are well-grown in the nursery for several years in their container to establish a strong root system.
When planting Iris, which are best planted in early to mid-fall, ensure 1/3rd of the rhizome is exposed to sunlight with the roots buried underneath. Note, that 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 them in the spring.
- Full Sun & Some Afternoon Shade
- Any Type Of Well-Drained Soil

- Deadhead For A Clean Look & Prune Down In Late Autumn
