Culture for 1/4 Arilbreds

Most all arilbreds, with only one grandparent that is pure aril and three that are regular bearded irises, can be grown like any tall bearded iris. The only extra advice would be to ensure good drainage which is something tall-nearded irises should have to begin with. The aril genes would also suggest that the plants should have available a slightly higher mineral content in the soil such as most desert soils, especially Calcium and Magnesium, But this is, at this time, only conjecture for 1/4 arilbreds. In theory they may also be slightly more salt tolerant. Mostly, culture should follow the best practices for most bearded Irises. (see Cultivation of bearded irises ). If you feel a particular cultivar has shown good performance under some unexpected extreme condition please note that for the record in the comment box below.
