Hi, Seeking advice on the best time and technique for dividing iris plants. I have several that need to be tidied up....thanks
before blooming (early, early spring) or any time after blooms have faded and the rhizome has had time to be nourished for next year - which would be mid- to late-summer and into the fall. when the leaves start to brown up is indication that they're about done feeding the rhizome. just dig up and break apart and then replant.
hello ejinchemainus, I love iris and now is the time to divide and re-plant. I have just purchased and planted some iris from Salt Spring Island and attached is the article from the grower Ted Baker. Go to: http://www.bc-iris.org then click on articles index. Good information there--
