Iris 'Paltec'

Hi All,

A rhizome of Iris Paltec has been given to me. This is the hybrid from
the bearded iris Pallida and Iris Tectorum. What I don't know is
whether to grow it as a bearded (full sun, alkalinePh) or a tectorum
(sun to shade, slightly acid). The only thing I know is that Paltec
likes to be very well-drained and has the same water requirements as the
bearded iris. I would greatly appreciate information about the best
growing conditions for this unusual iris.

Thank you, Theresa Massey
