| What is the best time and way to transplant irises from my grandmother's old flower bed to mine. |
| Pam, The best time is late fall. However you might try some now (as soon as possible) and save a few others for this coming fall. However, now (late winter) is not a bad time to transplant them. Dig the irises and cut off the end 4 inches of each runner. Set these sections about an inch deep in soil that has had a couple of inches of compost mixed into it. Choose a sunny location. Some late afternoon shade is all right. Mulch the area a couple of inches deep after planting. Thanks for the question. Please feel free to stop in again with another question any time we can help! |
