Iris 'Bold Pretender'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Bold Pretender is thought of as very hardy, so this plant will tend to go dormant over the long winter months. A soil ph of between 6.1 and 7.8 is ideal for Bold Pretender as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Aim to sow 0.99 inches (2.55 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 1.19 inches (3.05 cm).

As Bold Pretender is very hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
