Hi,
I am in a new garden and have newly purchased iris bulbs (White Swirl Siberian). I would like to plant them at the edge of a wooded area. The spot is in the shade in the morning and gets afternoon/evening sun. Will this do, or, should I look for a different spot?
thank you!

iris can take half day sun, but more is better. Siberians like acidic soil & remember they are rhisomes, not bulbs so should not be buried in the soil. White Swirl is a lovely plant & one would hope that shade would not increase.

I live in Maryland, and have about a 30 year-old clump of White Swirl which booms well every year, planted under a maple tree where it probably gets significantly less than 6 hours of sun. My impression is that siberians can tolerate quite a bit more shade than German iris can

Thank you for these insights! The rhizomes are planted, their little tips look happy!
