Bearded irises have 'beards' on each of the falls (lower petals) of the flowers. Iris 'Smiling Faces' bears frilled standards and falls in yellow-white, with yellow margins and a yellow beard. It's ideal for growing in a sunny mixed herbaceous border or gravel garden, and makes an excellent cut flower.

For best results grow Iris 'Smiling Faces' in well-drained soil in full sun, and mulch annually with well-rotted manure or garden compost. Divide clumps every three to five years.
