Sun requirements for Bearded Iris

[mky1000]

Hi All!
I am a new gardener and recently bought a lovely bearded iris. The label says “full sun to part shade”. The place I want to plant it gets mostly morning sun (approximately 7am-noon). Is this enough?

I know full sun is 6 hrs and part shade is 4-6 but I don’t know if morning sun is good enough.

Thank you!!!

Sun is sun whatever time it is, and your Iris should be very happy there. Don`t forget to leave the top part of the Rhizome (root) exposed to the sun. This will encourage and improve flowering. Welcome to the forums

Thank you! I didn’t know about the rhizome rule, that’s very good to know.

They can put up with drought, but hate to sit in wet conditions - I found the following link for you to have look at. https://www.flowerpatchfarmhouse.com/how-i-plant-iris/
