watering
Tall bearded reblooming iris (Iris 'Clarence') should be watered thoroughly once a week, making sure that the soil is uniformly moist but not soaked. You should not allow the soil to dry out completely. During periods of extreme heat, water the plant more than once a week, but let the soil dry out slightly in between watering. The frequency of watering will depend on the soil and the environment - adjust according to the needs of your plant.
sunlight
Tall bearded reblooming iris should receive a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth. This cultivar may, however, also do well in partially shaded conditions and even thrive with just 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. It is best to ensure that the plant is receiving at least 4 hours of direct sunlight each day, ideally during the midday hours for most optimal performance and flower growth.
pruning
Tall bearded reblooming Iris (Iris 'Clarence') should be pruned in the fall, after flowering has finished. The center of the clump should be cut back to 4 inches and the outer leaves can be left up to a foot in height. Remove any dead or broken foliage, and then snip back any remaining leaves to 4-6 inches in height. This will help promote strong flowering in the spring and encourage new growth at the base.
