I am moving at the end of June and would like to move some of my 40-year-old bearded irises with me. When is the best time to move them? Can I move them in June? |
Traditionally, bearded iris are moved or divided about a month after they bloom, though they can be successfully moved at other times as well. Prepare the new bed thoroughly before planting to provide a rich soil with good drainage. Make sure the new transplants get plenty of water, especially during their first summer, and keep the beds well weeded. |
