As with other tall bearded iris, ‘Lady Friend’ thrives in full sun, performing best in a leaner, well-drained soil. Blooms will last longer with moderate watering, but the rhizomes do not like to sit in water.
Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Lady Friend is generally regarded as a very hardy plant, so this plant will tend to survive through freezing conditions. Lady Friend needs a soil ph of 6.1 to 7.8 (weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil).
