Planting and care information
Plant 'Alida' bulbs in fall, approximately 4 inches deep and 3 inches apart in well-drained, fertile soil. This versatile iris thrives in full sun to partial shade locations, requiring at least six hours of daily sunlight. After planting, water deeply to establish roots, then maintain moist but not waterlogged soil. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support growth. Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms and cut back foliage after it yellows in late fall.
